Think about what you think about-
Have you stopped to think about your thinking lately? Our thoughts matter, and impact what say, believe, and how we act. Our thoughts become our reality and then our destiny; yes they have that much power! God knows every thought in our head, isn't that wild to think about? As I was doing a devotional from the Bible app, and doing some journaling, I found myself giving gratitude and praising Him, which always combat any negative thought that tries to enter in. Think about it, it is impossible to have an anxious or negative thought at the same time as giving thanks and praise! As we speak God's truth of every lie, “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,” 2 Corinthians 10:5 ESV “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Philippians 4:8 ESV Here is today's devotional taken from the Bible app if you would like to start the full 6 day plan @YouVersion plan 'Speaking Life'. There is life-giving power in our thoughts. Our thoughts matter. Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) states, “For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Our thoughts matter as out of the abundance of our thoughts flow our words. The thoughts and inclinations of our heart shape the reality of who we are. They shape our thinking which will ultimately shape our words and therefore, our actions. What we say matters but what we think matters even more. Scripture tells us to think about, even dwell on, that which is praiseworthy. Do we actually invest in and prioritize this obedience? There are many books written that examine how our words are simply the vehicles that convey our thoughts and emotions. What you put in your mind has an effect on what you think. Does “trash in equal trash out?” If so, our thoughts should be considered our highest priority, especially since the health and welfare of our lives are the by-product. Our enemy wants our minds filled with all sorts of trash and vain imaginations. Let’s think about what we think about.
