Hello,
Happy New Month!
What have you been thinking lately? I want to remind you that your life is a reflection of your thoughts. Ephesians 3:20 says God is “able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or THINK, according to the power that worketh in us”. If God were to answer all your predominant thoughts, how will your life be?
Let me share some lessons I learnt concerning thoughts:
Power of Your Thoughts
Taking care of your mind is crucial for your future, as your thoughts shape the life you lead. The first step in this process is to ensure that God is present in your thoughts, filtering them through the Word of God. When God is missing from your thoughts, you risk losing the goodness, grace, and glory that come from Him. Hence, it is vital to pray for protection against thoughts that distance you from God. Unholy thoughts take you away from His presence, while uncensored thoughts challenge His existence, pushing you further from Him. Unforgiving thoughts hinder the flow of God’s mercy in your life, and unbelieving thoughts obstruct His works. Therefore, nurturing a mind filled with godly thoughts is essential for a future full of divine blessings and fulfillment.
Positioning Your Thoughts
Do not be anxious or overly concerned about your needs for food and drink, for God is already aware of what you require to sustain your life (Luke 12:29-30). Instead, direct your heart and mind towards thoughts that are true, honorable, righteous, pure, lovely, and worthy of admiration. These are the attributes that should fill your heart and guide your actions (Philippians 4:8). By dedicating your endeavors to the Lord, you create a foundation upon which your thoughts will be securely established, leading you to a path of inner peace and purpose (Proverbs 16:3). Today, make a conscious choice to surrender your thoughts to God, trusting that He will guide you toward fulfillment and serenity.
