Our Thoughts
Proverbs 16:3
Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.
Today's verse speaks about our thoughts - what do we think about on a daily basis?
We often get caught into the same thinking day by day - and often it's not healthy - we have a jobs and families to think about - and often we get consumed by the problems around us - it's hard not to in this day and age -much is going on in the world - from the disaster in Haiti - to our currently economic crisis worldwide - this is another reminder this is no our home - imagine if this was our home! I am so thankful we are just passing through - our thoughts should reflect this attitude - but sadly we often think about ourselves and our needs, wants and desires - and there is nothing wrong per-say to that - but when we become so self-focused - we often miss what God is trying to say to us - and then we end up not obeying Him because we have not gotten to a place were we can hear what HE says - often this world takes precedence over the Spirit - that's so sad - because this world is passing away - slowly by surely - this place is dying - it's not going to last forever -we are leaving one day - what do our thoughts say about this - often we choose not to think about the pain of this life - many deaden this pain with drugs of choice - rather it be food - actually drugs or sex - to power - to making ourselves the king of our destiny - any number of these take us away from God -
Let's watch our thoughts - because they reflect our heart - where our heart is - our thoughts often follow - do you need a heart check? I know I do - as I type this worlds - I feel the harsh reality that we all struggle with this from time to time - in the end God gets HIS say - and nothing else matters - let's think of those things God has for us - let's think ahead - let's think about heaven and about the Lord's great love for us!
Praise GOD and listen to HIS voice - and let HIM rule your thought life!
Word to the wise: What are you thinking about today?
