Right Thinking

       For as he thinks in his heart, so is he - Proverbs 23:7.

                 Every word that comes out of our mouth and every action of us comes from our thoughts. A good tree produces good fruits. Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit - Mathew 7:17. We will think right things when God’s Word is deep rooted in our heart. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it - Proverbs 4:23. Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You - Psalm 119:11.

                Let us drive away all the negative thoughts by speaking out the Word of God and renew our mind. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God - Romans 12:2. Let us set our mind on things above and not on the world. Fill the mind with true, noble, right, pure, lovely and excellent thoughts. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things - Philippians 4:8.  

                 Let us bring every thought of us into the captivity to the obedience of Christ. Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ - 2 Corinthians 10:5. May we align our thoughts with God’s thoughts as His thoughts are always higher than our thoughts. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts - Isaiah 55:9. The Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile - Psalm 94:11.                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to fill our mind with right thinking as it leads us to right life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
