The Power of Thoughts
Today I want to write to you about the building blocks of who we are, the words we say, and the lives we lead: Our thoughts. Why do I say that thoughts are the building blocks of life? After all, no one knows about them other than us, so why does it matter so much what we think? Well, we often forget one vital truth - one enlightening and freeing truth - God knows EVERYTHING - and that includes our most private thoughts! Each and every second of every day, God is aware of what we are thinking. And believe it or not, we can sin even in our own, "innocent" little minds - through hatred, judgement, jealousy, lust, and idolatry. Even thoughts that distract you from following Christ.(Sidepoint: our minds are not innocent. The sin nature still stains our thought-life, even if we're saved). The Bible addresses thoughts frequently, and it addresses the importance of them. Where our thoughts go, our desires follow. As Proverbs 4:23 says, Guard your heart above
