The Daniel 14-Day Plan

DAY 12 OF 14

The Christ Mindset

Changing your health habits is like driving a speedboat on a lake with your autopilot set to go east when you want to head west. If you want to reverse course, you could try to physically force the wheel in the opposite direction, but you would likely get tired and let go, and the boat would drift back east.

There is a better option: Change your autopilot. Your mind is your autopilot, and the best way to change your habits for the long term is to change the way you think. You need a new mindset, the mind-set of Christ.

Through his Holy Spirit and his Word, God gives us “divine power to demolish strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4). Strongholds are deeply rooted ways of thinking, and they can be demolished when we meditate on God’s Word and ask him to replace lies with his truth. We can ask, “Father, what would Jesus think about this matter?” Or “Lord, please show me the false things I believe that are getting in the way of my health and growth.”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

If we immerse ourselves in God’s Word, the mindset of Christ will free us to change our autopilot and change our lives.
