RESPONSIBLE THINKING

Sometimes we don't really realize what we are thinking about. We have random thoughts. We may have negative thoughts. We may be thinking something bad about ourselves or others. It has been said we become what we think about. If we are constantly putting ourselves down in our thoughts, we will not accomplish all God has planned for us. However, if we fix our thoughts on what God requires of us, we will show responsible thinking and be able to carry out what God has called us to do.

Philippians 4:8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. (NLT)

Dear Lord, help us to fix our thoughts on You. We know we when think about what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable, we will be focusing on You. Only You have those qualities. Only You have the ability to help us have the right thinking that will lead us to a responsible life. Help us today to stay focused on You and keep thinking responsibly. In Jesus' name. Amen.

When we fix our thoughts on Jesus, all negative thinking will disappear.

We can choose what thoughts we want to have. God gives us a good guideline on what to think about.

God tells us to think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. What would those things be?

We can't think about what is pure and good and think negatively at the same time.

God will give us peace when we fix our thoughts on Him.

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! (NLT)

Focus: Concentrate daily where our thoughts are and continue to point them to Jesus.
