Get Your Mind Right
A Hip Hop song that came out in 2015 was one that indoctrinated the phrase to “get my mind right”.
The song talked about the various things that we do or can do in the work to “get our mind right”. It is not song that is so limited to the urban context because we all have things that we do to “get our minds right”. I have drunk alcohol to “get my mind right”. I have leaned on relationships to “get my mind right”. There are those who will look ot drugs to “get their mind right”. There are those who will abuse a spouse or child thinking that it will “get their mind right”. Then there are some more positive things that are done. Sometimes I will help somebody else to “get my mind right” even though it may be for the wrong reason or result. Sometimes I have gone to church to “get my mind right” even though I am only doing it out of guilt. These are all worldly or carnal means to “get our mind right”. The scripture tells us that the mind can only get “right” by adoption.
We are to replace the mind that we have with the mind of Jesus, the Christ. This can be done through believing and confessing Jesus.
Then we can only keep it through prayer, study, meditation and service to God!!!!
