We all need help at renewing our minds, which means getting better at filtering the information coming into and already in our heads. The following two questions will help in this process.
The first is, “So what?” One author said it like this, “It is the most powerful filter for separating the irrelevant from the important. It’s the first litmus test of whether to pass or dig deeper.” Not all information vying for your attention is worth of listening to. If it doesn’t help you get better at following Jesus, why spend time on it?
The second is, “How is it working for me?” Is the information your brain already possesses helping you draw closer to Jesus and the life He promised you? If not, why use it as a basis for making decisions?
Remember, you become what you focus on and what you focus on only gets bigger. The questions So what? and Is it working for Me? will go a long way in helping you stay focused on the information worthy of your attention and room in your head – the truths the Spirit gives you to walk ever closer and like Jesus.
