"When you memorize a verse of scripture, you memorize a thought of God. When you memorize portions of scripture and meditate on it, you begin to think as God thinks."
Every time I read this, I am in awe. Think as God thinks? What an honor!
We are supposed to be conformed to the image of His Son and let this mind be in us which was also in Christ Jesus! We are to think like God thinks.
Obviously, we cannot think exactly like God. We are not perfect; we are not infinite; we are not omniscient. But we can think like a Christian, literally a "little Christ."
In Romans 12:2, God commands us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Don't you want your mind to be made new? Our minds are transformed by reading, meditating on, and memorizing Scripture! How wonderful is that?
When you are reading the Word, do you think of it as the thoughts of God?
When you go over your verses, are you doing it because it reminds you of Bible Bee, or because you love God and want to think like He does?
When you study a passage, do you ask God to change your way of thinking so that it reflects Him, and not your sinful nature?
May we all have minds as the Lord Jesus, willing to use our hearts, hands, and minds for His glory!
