BIBLE MEDITATION:
Proverbs
23:7 - "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
There was a sign in a
business that said, "We are not what we think we are; what we think - we
are." What are you allowing into your mind that is thereby controlling
your heart, your actions, and your words? God made you so that you can't think
two thoughts at one time. If you're thinking what's right, you can't be
thinking what's wrong. And as you think, you will become. Guard your mind.
Center your mind upon the Lord Jesus. Don't let the devil take away your
pure-hearted devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. Stay in love with Jesus and
there won't be any room for those filthy, dirty, wicked, lascivious, lustful,
and prideful thoughts that bombard us all.
ACTION POINT:
Start today to become
more active in marshalling your thoughts and bringing them into obedience to
Christ (2 Cor.
10:5). Use Phil.
4:8 as a sieve through
which you pass each thought.
2 COR
10: 5Casting down imaginations, and every high
thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into
captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
PHIL. 4: 8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be
any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
