"Thoughts Are All Results Of The Daily Choices ..."
Romans 8:6
The Passion Translation
6 For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.
The best condition for our minds is—as Paul described in Philippians 4:8—pure, lovely and lovable, kind and winsome and gracious, thinking on those things that are virtuous and excellent.
This is what it means to have the mind of Christ. It is important that we think about what we’re thinking about. Many people falsely think that the source of their misery or trouble is something other than what it really is. They are blaming an outside condition when it is their own inner thoughts that are causing them trouble. But if we’ll choose to “watch over” our thoughts, we can begin to take every thought captive into the obedience to Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).
A big part of drawing close to God is submitting our thoughts to Him. Your thoughts, your words, your attitudes, and your actions are all results of the daily choices you make.
