THINK ABOUT IT
"To Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21
From time to time I have been challenged to think about what I have been thinking about. Thoughts are powerful and impact our lives more than we probably realize. Whatever we are thinking about influences our feelings, and our feelings to some degree effect our decision making on what we say and do. Think about it.
One of my dearest friends once encouraged me to not allow idle/idol thinking. Thinking about what it is not time to think about. It is a waste of time and it actually makes room for doubt and unbelief. It is not faith and it is not pleasing to God. According to this next scripture WE HAVE DIVINE POWER TO TAKE CAPTIVE EVERY THOUGHT and make it obedient to the Word of God.
II Corinthians 10:4-6 "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
I Timothy 4:15 "Meditate on these things and give yourself completely to it that your progress might be evident to all." What do you think "these things" are that we are supposed to be thinking about or meditating on? Look up the passage and read before and after it.
"Finally, brothers, 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
"Blessed is the man that meditates on the word both day and night..." Psalm 1:1-2
