Our presuppositions will have a profound effect on the course of our lives. It is a valuable practice to ask ourselves what we believe and why. Paul challenges us in 2 Corinthians 13:5 to "examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves."
God has miraculously wired our brains to observe, make deductions, store information and act. It's a staggering and ever-changing process. We can change our minds. The oft-cited Romans 12:2 speaks directly to this process: "Do not conform 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." This requires action on our part. A changed mind equals changed actions.
As we strive to be more Christlike and conformed to his image, we will find it profoundly rewarding to make it our habit to simply ask what a circumstance or piece of information means.
