You Are What You Think

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

When you think about it, what you think has a lot to do with your actions. Our text indicates that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. So in essence, what you think is what you are.

The thought life is the beginning of victory or the beginning of defeat. Victories are won and lost here. The battle starts here and is won or lost here. Much is said in God’s Word about our thoughts and what we do with them.

You are not going to be victorious if you are always walking in a defeated attitude. You will not even fight because you see yourself as having already lost the battle, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

God has a better way for us His children. As a matter of fact He has already set the example for us in His thoughts toward us.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

If God will not think bad or evil thoughts toward us, who are we think bad or negative thoughts toward ourselves? We shouldn’t. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

We need to think about the good in people instead of focusing on the bad. We often tear others down by thinking only on their bad traits when we need to think of the things that they are doing good and use them as the foundation to lift them up.

You cannot think about the things of this world and expect the things of God to come out of you. As a man thinketh, so is he. What’s on your mind today? What have you been thinking about? If you are not thinking on things that are just, lovely, pure or of a just report, change your thinking………God Loves You and so do I……Pastor Tammy Mitchell
