Day 14 — The Daily Shift

We cannot live fully in God’s purpose if we keep holding on to old thought patterns that no longer serve us. In leadership and in business, we know that growth stops where our mindset stops. In other words, we cannot build new results with old ways of thinking.

We have the responsibility to manage our thought life with the same intentionality we would manage a strategy, a budget, or a team. If a thought does not align with God’s Truth, it cannot guide our decisions. This is why Paul writes:“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5, NIV).

However, we know it is not always easy to filter our thoughts and keep them aligned with God’s perspective—especially when we are leading others and making decisions in environments where Christian values may not be shared.

But here is good news, “We have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16, NIV). This is our confidence: we already have access to His wisdom, His clarity, and His perspective in every decision we face. With the mind of Christ, we can replace fear with faith, scarcity with abundance, and self-doubt with confidence in His calling.

The daily shift is about choosing which thoughts to keep and which to release. Just as in business we would not hold on to a failing process or product, in the same way, we cannot afford to hold on to thoughts that sabotage our purpose. A renewed mindset is not a one-time breakthrough; it is a discipline, a practice of submitting every thought to Christ and allowing His Word to reset our perspective.

Today, ask yourself if there are specific thought patterns you need to let go of in order to live a life more aligned with God. How could changing these patterns of thinking impact your daily life and your relationship with Him?

Prayer: Lord, today I ask You to help me recognize every thought that does not reflect the Truth of Your Word. I want to live with a mind that is renewed daily, that aligns more and more with Your will. Amen.
