CONSISTENT BUILDING
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
February 27
“… be ye transformed
by the renewing of your mind. . .”
Romans 12:2
This is Paul's admonition.
Many people understand this in principle,
but they fail to demonstrate
because they do not carry it out logically in practice.
During prayer, they carefully build up
the new mental structure,
but as soon their time of prayer is over,
instead of faithfully preserving
that structure intact
they promptly knock it down again
by negative thinking. Obviously,
a bricklayer could work hard in this fashion
year after year without ever accomplishing anything.
If you are failing to demonstrate,
it is probably due to the same cause—
building followed by wrecking.
We are transformed by the renewing of our minds.
