Today's devotional makes me think of a quote by Emerson that says, "A
man is what he thinks about all day long." Since I came from a
background of daily negativity, it has been a lifelong struggle to
realize that I AM in control of what I am thinking! Sarah Young reminds
us to "reject negative or sinful thoughts as soon as you become aware of
them."
My Sunday School class is currently studying a book called, "Spiritual Disciplines." One of the chapters has some profound thoughts on being "shaped by God's Words" vs. being shaped by what we see and hear in our culture. It's up to us to decide who/what controls our thinking and which message do want to shape our lives?
Do you have ways that you have found that helps
you STOP those negative/sinful thoughts so that you can keep your mind
in the Presence of our Lord and allow His Presence to shape you?
