Have you ever noticed how your thoughts determine your direction? Today's episode unlocks a powerful spiritual principle that many believers miss: the walk starts in the mind. 

Drawing from Romans 12:2, we explore why transformation begins with thinking differently, not merely behaving differently. The world operates on a distinct rhythm—comparison, pride, hustle, and compromise—constantly shaping our perspectives and decisions. But God invites us to break free from these patterns through mind renewal.

When we allow Scripture to reshape our thinking, we begin walking to a different beat. We're no longer defined by cultural standards but by God's truth. This renewed mindset creates authentic transformation that changes how we navigate relationships, challenges, and everyday decisions. As we emphasize in today's episode, "Your feet will follow what your mind is fixed on."

The worthy walk we're called to pursue isn't primarily about outward conformity but inward transformation. Time in God's Word, worship, and thought management aren't just spiritual disciplines—they're pathways to a renewed mind that naturally produces God-honoring behavior. We confront the sobering reality that we simply cannot walk worthy while thinking worldly.

Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.394 --> 00:00:08.762
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.762 --> 00:00:13.653
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.653 --> 00:00:19.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.070
Let's get started.

00:00:21.070 --> 00:00:25.589
Today is day 125.

00:00:26.379 --> 00:00:28.067
The walk starts in the mind.

00:00:28.067 --> 00:00:36.706
We'll be reading from Romans, chapter 12, verse 2 from the New Living Translation hey, this is Rick.

00:00:36.706 --> 00:00:40.631
We're continuing our May series of Walking Worthy.

00:00:40.631 --> 00:00:46.270
Now, the first step to walking worthy isn't behavior, it's belief.

00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:52.548
Yeah, it's not about acting better, it's about thinking differently.

00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:11.751
Romans 12 says the world has a rhythm Comparison, pride, hustle, compromise.

00:01:11.751 --> 00:01:17.888
But when we renew our minds with God's truth, we start to walk to a different beat.

00:01:17.888 --> 00:01:23.245
We're no longer defined by what the world says, but by what he says.

00:01:23.245 --> 00:01:27.430
A worthy walk begins with a renewed mind.

00:01:27.430 --> 00:01:30.168
That's why time in the word matters.

00:01:30.168 --> 00:01:32.427
That's why worship matters.

00:01:32.427 --> 00:01:35.950
That's why guarding your thoughts matters.

00:01:35.950 --> 00:01:39.909
Your feet will follow what your mind is fixed on.

00:01:39.909 --> 00:01:46.552
So today, what are you letting shape your thoughts?

00:01:46.552 --> 00:01:51.403
Pray with me, father.

00:01:51.403 --> 00:01:53.129
Renew my mind today.

00:01:53.129 --> 00:01:59.346
Clean out the clutter, clean out the lies, replace them with your truth.

00:01:59.346 --> 00:02:08.650
Help me walk worthy, starting with how I think In Jesus' precious name, amen.

00:02:08.650 --> 00:02:13.069
Let me say this once again plainly.

00:02:13.069 --> 00:02:19.370
I'm saying plainly you won't walk worthy if you think worldly.

00:02:19.370 --> 00:02:24.632
Let God shape your thoughts and your steps will follow.

00:02:24.632 --> 00:02:26.806
