Six questions that make the difference:

Prov. 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Rom. 12: 2 (ESV) Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Interpreting what is happening

2 Cor. 10: 1 (ESV) I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!— 2 I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, Phil. 4: 8 (ESV) Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Interpreting what is happening

Jer. 45: 5 (ESV) And do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not, for behold, I am bringing disaster upon all flesh, declares the LORD. But I will give your life as a prize of war in all places to which you may go. ” Matt. 6: 33 (ESV) But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 1 Cor. 10: 31 (ESV) So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Our heart’s desires

2 Cor. 5: 9 (ESV) So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. Phil. 1: 20 (ESV) as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Col. 3: 1 (ESV) If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Our heart’s desires

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. ” (Rom 12: 1– 2 ESV) “and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, ” (Eph 4: 23 ESV) “I have stored up your word in my heart, That I might not sin against you. ” (Psa 119: 11 ESV) Renewing the mind
