What Do We Feed Our Mind?

Thoughts are powerful. They shape how we feel about everything around us, everything that does or does not affect us. If our thoughts are wrong, they bring harm to ourselves as well as others. God gave us the ability to think, reason, and know. It is our duty to use these correctly based on truth.

The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile (1 Corinthians 3:20). When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me (1 Corinthians 13:11). Now we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).

Fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess (Hebrews 3:1). For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword… it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24).

What we think upon can help us or hurt us. Don’t let circumstances make you think you are unloved.
