Which Filter Are You Using Today?
By Mark Flippo
The Bible commands it. In 1 Peter 1:14-15, the apostle Peter writes, “as obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.” Similarly, the apostle Paul writes, “do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, (Filtering your mind through Jesus) that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2).
Whenever you hear anything, it comes through the speaker's mouth with their filter in place. It may choose to slant the Truth a little. Sometimes it may have been filtered several times! Now families are really bad about that. Do children tell their parents the whole Truth? Around the workplace are untainted words spoken? I hope it is not true, but husbands and wife's, tend to not be completely honest. Each one tries to cover their anatomy! Sometimes it is to save Peace!
You may want to calm a situation. How many times have a heard a mother trying her best to settle down a tumultuous situation? We need to surrender to Jesus at all times especially when hurt feeling are involved! If you give God your heart, mind and mouth it will be a better world all around. Stop insisting on your own way so much!
Jesus, we need your help so that we filter everything through a Godly mind.
Jesus, help all of our families and friends. Clean me out so that I can serve you in Truth! AMEN!
