The Bible teaches us:
What we should THINK about – 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)
How to SPEAK – A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth SPEAKS what the heart is full of (Luke 6:45)
How to ACT – To DO what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice (Proverbs 21:3)
The answers are right in front of you in the Word of GOD. We cannot say that God doesn’t speak when He has given us thousands of words as His love letters to us – the Living Word. Few of us spiritually nourish ourselves many times a day with Jesus – the Bread of Life.
A negative mind produces negative words and consequently, a negative life. To turn our lives around, we need to start thinking about what we’re thinking about and then make some real changes.
For the next few days, examine your thoughts. Your life will go the way your thoughts go. Take each thought and make it obedient to JESUS. Don’t dwell on the past and don’t rewind and replay it. Don’t worry about the future; your thoughts have power, so any dream or vision about the future should be in agreement with what JESUS wants for you.
Finally, you cannot think right and act wrong. You cannot love JESUS and disobey His Holy Spirit. You cannot love JESUS and make decisions that do not align with your Christian faith and values. You cannot but reflect Him who lives inside you and speaks to you daily.
Be mindful of the ways in which your thoughts, speech and actions can be a blessing to others, daily. Love GOD, love people.
