Our thoughts represent our hearts. As I have said many times. What is in our hearts stir our thoughts, which then reflect our attitude which then expresses itself through our actions.
Lord I study Your word, I meditate on Your word. But am I listening to Your word. Am I storing your word?
What is in my heart? Evaluate your thoughts and you will find out very quickly what is in your heart.
I think and worry about things all the time,I even question if they will really happen. So there must be doubt in there
I think about how I am always messing up. So there must be condemnation in there
I think about the lifestyle of others and wonder how in the world they could call themselves a Christian. So there must be judgment in there.
Self, doubt, condemnation, and judgment…those four things pretty much consume my thoughts, therefore they must take up lots of space in my heart.
Lord I desperately need You to come in and be the new commander and operator of my heart. I have allowed these four things to each have an active part in the control center of my life and as a result they have produced wrongful thinking, a poor attitude and actions that have displayed more of a Pharisee lifestyle than a covered in the blood of Jesus lifestyle. Father I openly and honestly admit to these areas of sin today and ask in Your name to forgive me. Thank You for impressing upon my heart to step back and take a look at my thoughts. Produce in me a heart that is full of Your word and love, thoughts that are pure, right, and pleasing. An attitude that is lovely, and positive, and actions that are excellent, peace loving, gentle, and a reflection of You. Amen
This is everything that went through my thoughts within this last hour. So this is un-edited, I sat down and just typed all that I was thinking. I guess you could say this would be a page in my book of thoughts.
