The Nobility of Thinking Incorruptibly

by Pastor Ken

1 Peter 1:23

Having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

The way you think has the power to change your life.

Your thought processes are extremely valuable. They determine the direction of your outlook and attitudes. When you allow God’s goodness to direct your thoughts, you think about things like love, God’s grace, and how to be faithfully obedient to Him.

I know this is not always easy, especially nowadays when there are so many things out there to corrupt our way of thinking. We have to be on guard against these things, and the only way we can do that is by depending on Jesus, the incorruptible.

When we commit ourselves to reading and knowing God’s Word, the Bible, our hearts and minds become guarded against those things that can corrupt us. The Bible gives us a truer and nobler wisdom and perspective than anything this world has to offer.

Today I pray that you will let God’s incorruptible perspective be yours, too.


Reflection

What thoughts do I need to change to make them more like God’s? What will I do to make that happen in my life?


Prayer

Holy Lord, Please help me to study the Bible regularly so Your values will be my values, too. Give me a noble, incorruptible character. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit. In the name of Your dear Son Jesus, I pray, Amen.
