Mind Matters

Proverbs 4:23, Colossians 3:2, Ephesians 5:15-16, Matthew 22:37, Philippians 4:8, Pr. 23:7, Psalms 1:1-3

Just as it is vitally important that the baker selects the correct ingredients in their baking, so must a person be cautious about what they put in, and allow, to stay in the mind.  It is a known fact that whatever a person puts into the mind goes into the inner person and has a great impact on the way one talks and lives.  Therefore, it is vitally crucial that one is very careful what they think about and what is allowed to enter the mind.  Many times people are physically ill due to wrong thoughts.  It is not recommended that one throws away their medicines but it is important that thoughts are carefully filtered through the Bible and the ways of God.  Wrong choices and decisions are usually preceded by wrong thoughts in the mind.

Prayer: Show me, Oh Lord, any wrong or misleading thoughts that I am entertaining now and show me how these thoughts do matter.
