A.W. Tozer declared this in his classic work 'The Knowledge of the Holy': "what comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." If we do not love Him with our minds-our beliefs, our imaginations, and our thoughts-we are not loving Him as we ought. The consequences for this are like any other manifestation of disobedience or disregard for His commands: bondage and death. Our destiny in Jesus is "life and life abundant." We should settle for nothing less, and demand with our days to enjoy the freedom of a liberated mind. In His kindness, the LORD has given us a living object lesson to calibrate our emotions and beliefs to the eternal truths of Scripture. The "City of the Great King" serves us with her testimony. The nations have a controversy with Jerusalem. The Church has a controversy with Jerusalem. Satan has a controversy with Jerusalem. God Himself has a controversy with Jerusalem. Yet she is the chosen throne for David's Son, and the last time Jesus saw her, He wept. She has always been complicated. Incidentally, so have we.
