Our Thought Life

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

              Our thought life is so important as everything we do depends upon it. Every thought that exalts against God’s knowledge should be brought into 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. 

             Our mind needs to be renewed with thoughts that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely and excellent. 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. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind - Romans 12:2. 

              Let our mind be governed by the spirit of God and not by the flesh. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace - Romans 8:6. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh - Romans 13:14. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things - Colossians 3:2. 

          God will keep us in perfect peace as we have the mind of Christ. You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You - Isaiah 26:3. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus - Philippians 2:5. Let us be the imitators of Christ as we have the mind of Christ - Ephesians 5:1. 

                                          

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to renew our mind by setting our mind on things above and not on earthly things. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
