Do you think of intelligence as something highly rated? Your culture recognizes and rewards intellectual achievement. Many who excel in this area regard it as a substitute for me. Yet even your ability to reason is a gift from me.
The Bible refers to vain imaginations, a carnal mind, and fleshly reason that exalts itself against me. These things are perversions of things that I have given. Yet my word also refers to the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom. It teaches you to have a mind submitted to me. Let your mind be stayed on me that I may be in all your thoughts. Understand the source of your intellect and use it as I intended that you may have the mind of Christ.
