The Devotional Diva - The Mind of Christ
By Barbara Gobbs
Executive Assistant and Ministry Partner - Pocket Full of Change Ministries
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." Phil 2:5
Several years ago, I did a home study of T.W. Hunt's and Claude King's "The Mind of Christ." Obviously, I did not pass the class. Therefore, last night I enrolled in a group study at church once again on "The Mind of Christ." I even bought a new book so I could work fresh. I hope to improve my "score" this time around.
Today a question came to me. I never considered this question before. If I could have anything of Christ's - what would it be?
It's been an interesting few weeks for me, so I bet my husband would like to me to ask for the love of Christ. Based on my conversation skills lately, I bet my friends would suggest I request the words of Christ. Then all of my jobs require that I plead for the power of Christ and the wisdom of Christ.
These are all good things to desire. While I desperately need all of the above, I believe those attributes might be more easily attainable, if I just had the mind of Christ.
From the mind of Christ, I will love unconditionally. From the mind of Christ, my words will build up and not tear down. From the mind of Christ, His power will flow and enable me to complete what He calls me to complete. Only with His mind will I be able to utilize properly the wisdom that comes when I ask in faith. (See James 1:5)
Allow me to be short and sweet this second day of February in 2009. If you could have anything that belonged to Jesus - today - this very minute, what would it be?
Working on the mind,
Barbara
