What are you thinking about?

What are you thinking about? This is a very important question that we all need to ask ourselves. This is simply because the mind is a computer all by itself. What are you thinking? The answer is I really do not know, but God does. I know that in the book of Isaiah in the 55th chapter, God says “For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways. In Isaiah 55:9 says “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” declares the Lord! This means that God is there with us all of the time. We just cannot out think God in any way. This is the reason why we are in need of him. Zephaniah 3:15 says The Lord has taken away your punishment; he has turned back your enemy. The Lord, the King of Israel is with you, never again will you fear any harm.

The Lord is a just God. He is fair, firm, kind, gentle, intelligent, considerate, respectful, and always available. He is also the one who will blot out all of your sins and will not mention them anymore. Isaiah 43:25 say, I even I am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remember your sins no more. As long as you come to God with a sincere heart, and are willing to repent of all of your sins. Do not leave anything out and completely surrender to him. Luke 6:45 say; A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil that is stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. In today’s society, we need to learn how to keep things in perspective. Each of us needs to watch what we are saying to each other all of the time. We must learn how to think long before we act on our behavior.

Matthew 6:21 says for where your treasure is there your will be also. If we have our minds on worldly things; such as the internet, pornography, money, and material possessions; you are tuning God out. It is a shame that men and women who focus more on their relationships rather than giving God some personal time during their 24 hours of existence. A person’s treasure can also be themselves and the things that they desire the most. Jeremiah 29:11 says; for I know the plans I have for you. Declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. God has plans for each and every last one of us; as long as we are willing to listen and obey him. We must be willing to turn our lives around for the better. Do you know that God knows what we are going to do in advance? Although, he gives us a free will, but there are billions of people who refuse to adhere to basic principles from the Bible.

Sanctification has a lot to do with our relationships with others and with God. Sanctification helps us to see God. This is simply because God wants you all to himself. Sanctify the Lord God in your heart. The more real he becomes in your life; however, we need to be cautious about our conduct. Immerse yourself with prayer and reading God’s Word. Our strength comes from our obedience to God, and being able to maintain self control at all times. Matthew 12:34 says you brood of vipers how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. This is very serious because what is inside of the mind, body, soul, and spirit is captured by God and man. Whatever is inside of the heart and stomach is bound to come up as thoughts as well. This is also called defilement.

Matthew 15:17-19 says don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and them out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and this defiles them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts-murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander. This defiles a person because God does not like it. This makes us a very sinful person to God. This is also very serious because God did not create man and woman to become like this. God created male and female in His own image.

Nahum 1:7 says The Lord is good a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he know them that trust in him. God knows who trust him and those who do not trust him. He is a stronghold in the day of trouble for all of us. He is around in our times of happiness as well as our time of trouble. We need him all of the time. This means he knows exactly what we are thinking and doing. If you do not believe the Word of God, then please try him because he is good. He is around always and forever.

Proverbs 20:24 says A man’s steps are of the Lord; How then can a man understand his own way? A man steps are directed by the Lord always. Satan can also intervene in this process and contaminate the mind of a human being with filth and lust. A man does not understand his own way because he is from God. Jeremiah 10:23 says O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. A man cannot direct his own way because it is God who created him and God who must show man his errors in life and assist him in all of his ways. May the Lord bless you immensely and keep you safe always and forever. God loves you and so do I.
