As vital as your heartbeat

Indeed, those who conform to their own nature are concerned with the realities of human nature, while those who conform to the Spirit are concerned with what is of the Spirit. Romans 8.5

As believers, learning to think the right way is an important thing that we absolutely cannot overlook.

Just as it is vital that our hearts beat, it is vital to think the right way, because many of the problems we struggle with in our lives are rooted in bad ways of thinking that are not based on the truth. Thinking right is the result of a regular relationship with God, through prayer and reading his Word.

It is important that we understand that we are not going to gain confidence in our life if our thoughts are not strengthened and assured. Thoughts bear fruit. When you and I think right, our lives bear good fruit. When our thoughts do not agree with the Word of God, our thoughts produce bad fruit.

"Thinking the right way is the result of a regular relationship with God."

The more I serve God and study his Word, the more I realize how important it is for me to be aware of what is going on in my thoughts. "Man is like the thoughts of his soul." (Proverb 23.7)

Continually watching over our thoughts is the only way to be able to keep them aligned with the Word of God, and to win our battles against the enemy.

A prayer for today

Holy Spirit, you have shown me that it is vital to align my thoughts with the Word of God. I am committed to watching my thoughts on a regular basis so that I can think correctly.

Joyce Meyer
