Romans 1:28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"
Our minds are never stagnant. They are dynamic, always thinking of something. Paul uses the word "retain" here, which implies an active purpose. In other words, we cannot just expect God to be retained in our minds. We must actively retain God in our knowledge.
How do we do this? Psalm 1:2 "But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." The people Paul was speaking of "didn't like" to think about God, or keep knowledge of Him. But the person in Psalm 1 find delight in God and His law.
It is only a renewed, sanctified mind that can find delight in the things of God. When I think back over the thoughts I've had today, where do I find the most delight?
