How is your thought life. As a Born Again Believer our minds must be well trained because the greatest battlefield for the Christian is the mind. Proverbs 23:7a “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” (NKJV). What we think about powerfully influences who and what we will become. Our actions, our attitudes and habits are born in the mind, and then it becomes the life we entertain. We can literally change our life by changing how we think – but we cannot do it alone. God’s standard and guideline for the thought life is very clear and demanding. In fact, it’s downright impossible without God’s power at work in our life. Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things." NKJV We choose what we watch and read, the conversations we have and the time we spend in the Word. If the mind is not filled with good, the enemy will fill it with bad. The human mind will always set itself on something. In this passage, Paul is challenging us to wisely choose what we think on. We need to take charge of our thoughts by inviting the Holy Spirit to help us by using God’s standards for our mind. It is time for us to allow the Holy Spirit free reign in training our mind, harnessing our thoughts and measuring them by God’s standard. If we don’t make up our mind, our unmade mind will unmake us. In order to live right we must think right. How about you? Have you made up your mind?
