Catching the Overflow Matthew 12:33–out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks

I’ve never re-posted anything before, but I’m reading Isaiah again and ran across this verse again.

The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. Isaiah 8:11

These words, spoken by Isaiah early in his years as a prophet of God, reflect the commitment to God that it takes to follow Him wholeheartedly.  To trust in Him alone.

I’m looking for focus and a clear mind.  What do I do?  Shut out distractions.  Turn them off, make a choice.  It also reminds me of:

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will. Rom 12:2

In what way do you need to change the way you think so that you do not think like everyone else?
