DO YOU MIND
DO YOU MIND

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. Matthew 22:37

Throughout the London subway system are signs that warn, “Mind The Gap.” They remind riders to pay attention to the space between the train and the platform. In the United States I’ve seen signs along highways with a single word “Think!” The point of both is clear. In the midst of our daily routine, we often fail to engage our minds in what we’re doing.

Could this also happen in our relationship with God? When Jesus was asked to state the greatest commandment, He replied, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” - Matthew 22:37 Our minds are to be fully yielded to God and as actively engaged in loving Him as our hearts and soul are.

In a book on Christian leadership, William H. Danforth writes, “When it is easy to get our thinking done for us, the big temptation is not to think.” Instead of engaging our minds as we worship and serve God, we follow familiar predictable routines. Instead of thinking fearlessly and creatively about ways to express our love to the Lord, we become content to say and do what we’ve always done.

Thinking is hard work, but loving God is a great privilege that deserves all the mental muscle we can put into it. - DCM
