M-Meaningful I-Information N-Never D-Depreciates
The human mind is like a CPU (central processing unit) or a computer for the layman, storing everything that it sees, hears, and everything that it has experienced. No matter how many days, weeks or decades ago, you may have seen or heard something the mind is able to recall it as if it happened just yesterday. The mind, does not forget anything, EVER!!!
Which brings me to this point, what is it that you are feeding your mind? Are you nourishing it with good reading material such as, the Bible, wholesome magazines, Christian books, TV shows that do not cloud your mind with doubt and negativity? What and who are you listening to? There is a computer term, one I have not heard for some time, however is prevalent today, GIGO (garbage-in, garbage-out).
The mind, like the body, is in need of good food to grow and to remain healthy. If a person has a diet of cakes, cookies and fried foods, always neglecting the veggies, fruits, and exercise, eventually the body will become ill with various sicknesses, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, which ultimately leads to an early death.
The mind acts in the same way, if a person is constantly feeding it negative music, viewing inappropriate materials, listening to the voice of satan, the mind becomes very sick and lends over to a reprobate mind. Romans 1:28 says, And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient…”
Additionally, Romans 12:2 states, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God“.To be like Christ is to take on the mind of Christ. Begin to store good memories on your hard drive by renewing your mind daily in the Word of God.
