Renew Your Mind
First renew your mind.
There are NO perfect families!
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may [d]prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [e]acceptable and perfect (Romans 12:1-3 NASB).
Renew Your Mind
Worldly thinking: professionals need to educate my children
Lies: “I’m not smart enough”
Lies: “This is too hard”
What Does God Say?
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me (II Corinthians 12:9 NASB).
God loves to show off in your life in the middle of weakness.
Position yourself for grace.
Read God’s Word. Thank Him. Be faithful. Be obedient. Watch God move.
