Think

Good Morning!! "We Think, therefore, We Are."  We've all heard that. Well, think on this,...Because we think, we can solve the most complicated problems. We can find cures for diseases, send people into outer space, and bring them back safely to earth,...and so much more. When we use this gift in the right way our lives, all our lives, get better. But when we use it wrong, when we worry over things we can't change, when we think of thing most foul,....well we make ourselves sick. We fall outside of God's Will, and most times drag others with us. Think about, what you think about!

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.—Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

A human's unique ability to think enables him to have thoughts about God and eternity. The famous American poet Walt Whitman found this to be troubling,...he said that he often envied the cattle that graze contentedly in a meadow, because they never worry or dwell on troublesome thoughts. As Christians, we know that the ability to think is a God-given gift. But sad to say, we can misuse it by entertaining thoughts that are vulgar, foul, and mean. That's why Paul told us to meditate only on whatever is true, noble, just, right, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy.

Godly character is shaped by godly thoughts. 

Lord, help us to discipline our thoughts. Amen.
