The mind is like a muscle. It prefers to sit on the couch of familiarity.
Discipline is like exercise. It kicks the mind off the couch every day.
The brain's plasticity is reshaped and improved gradually by repeated practice, not a sweeping instant transformation. Each step we take in following Jesus' lead teaches us to lean on the power of the Holy Spirit for the next step. God is ready to do some mental rewiring in your life if you’re willing to practice.
