"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..." Pro 23:7
"Finally, 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" Phil 4:8
The Lord has been working on my heart regarding my thought life. It's amazing to see how my outlook change as my thinking changes. As some will say, it's all in the mind =) That is true because the mind is the battle ground upon what our convictions and actions are produced. Do you struggle with silly and sinful thoughts that do not glorify God? Forsaking those thoughts alone will not help much. We need to replace it with something the Lord wants us to think about. It will help for us to study what the words "true, honest, just, pure, lovely, good report, be any virtue, be any praise" because all thoughts that come into our mind must pass through those filters before we can allow them to invade and pollute our thinking. Make the choice to do that today! If you don't, beware! A idle mind is the devil's playground!
