Romans 12:2

2 Do not be conformed to this present world, 

but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, 

so that you may test and approve what is the will of God—

what is good and well-pleasing and perfect.

 

What the mind lacks most

is a spiritual insight.

The brain we know can be stashed

with a mish-mash of concepts.

Opinions and objections

and all the cares digested.

The mind already decided

what is truth and what to accept.

 

With pre-conceived notions

it will reject any truth

that will not blend in

with its determination.

Man’s mind damages more people

than his heart’s intention.

The mistake lies mostly

believing in mind’s own devotion

 

Unknowingly the most intimate Christians

may have accepted satan’s suggestions in mind

and stepped aside from plain teaching

that God’s word provides.

As they then stumble on and fall

they should come to the realization

that no man is totally trustworthy

and even at times the best can slide.
