Interesting day today. I just finished reading Caroline Leaf’s book, Who Switched Off My Brain?, which is an amazing and fascinating study on how we detox our toxic thought life and how our brain works in general. Dr. Leaf goes to our church and her premise verse in this book is
Romans 12:2 “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
This is one of the foundational scriptures I started this experiment with. Dr. Leaf’s book is a layman’s explanation of the science behind how we can actually renew our minds – our thoughts, our memories, our recollections. The book is a fairly easy read – I read it in 2 days – most of the read was while we were driving to Destin, FL for our vacation – thanks Honey for driving for so many hours!
Once we got here, I started another book that I’ve had for years and read many moons ago. It’s a book by John Maxwell, entitled Thinking For A Change. By coincidence (…uh… yeah…..right….) one of his foundational verses is:
Phil 4:8 (NKJV) Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy —meditate on these things.
It’s amazing – this is the other verse I started this experiment with. I am excited to see what God is going to speak over the days off on my vacation.
I love when God coordinates things like this… It excites me to know he thinks about the little details of my life and drops in those little unexpected surprises. A very good friend of mine calls them “God kisses”…
Thank you Lord for caring about the little details…
