Knowledge, Understanding and Mindset.

Last week, my brothers and I were watching stand up comedy with our parents and besides the great laugh we had, I had a great learning moment. We watched clips of Ann Kansiime and that was easy for us all to follow but when we switched to Trevor Noah, my parents didn't get it much. We decided to stick to something we could all understand. They didn't get Trevor's jokes because they didn't know what he was talking about and couldn't relate much.That got me thinking about knowledge, understanding and mindset. The more you know the easier it is to understand and the more you understand, the more your mindset is changed. I believe that's the way our relationship with God works. The more we know him through His word the more we understand Him as we walk with Him and this knowledge and understanding changes our mindset about life. In the same way, we can miss God entirely because we haven't taken time to know Him,understand Him and therefore our mindsets and lives remain unchanged

"By their fruits ye shall know them"

King James Bible
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matthew 7:16

A conviction that is not fruitful /causes no change is simply delusion. So we are Christians, the world asks us what do we have to show for it? Does our conviction make any sense or does it make us sound like crazy people running around speaking of a lost cause? Do  we have love, are we victorious, are we changing with ever increasing Glory, do our lives testify?

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:" Ephesians 1:3 . How sad it is to be given everything and live as if you have nothing.

I pray that we may seek, find and LIVE the ultimate plan of God for our lives through Christ.
