Every morning I start my day by going to this blog, Of First Importance. There I find a brief quote of the day pointing me to the cross of Christ and God’s immeasurable grace on my behalf. Checking firstimportance.org every day is one of the best ways I try to live in light of the Gospel. It is not inspired Scripture, but it affords me glimpses of God’s greatness and kindness from fellow worshipers of God like C.H. Spurgeon, Paul David Tripp, John Owen, and others.

I cannot always see God clearly in my life. I forget his presence, distrust his promises, and struggle to view imperfect brothers & sisters (imperfect like me!) through grace like God sees them. So I pause, reflect on the cross, and set my thinking right. This how I live out Ephesians 4:23 where God tells us to “be renewed in the spirit of your mind.”

What are ways each day you find helpful to renew your mind and lead it to dwell on Gospel truth?
