You are what you think!
Good Morning! 1st pray for my boss Dan, he is having his Gull Bladder taken out today. I probably didn't spell it right. And 2nd there will be no text on Sundays anymore. I am going to take that day to rest and sleep in. And besides you should be hearing the word from where you choose to worship. Today's Vs is from the KJV, Prov 23:7, For as he thinketh in his heart, SO HE IS. Eat and drink he saith to thee, but his heart is not with thee. Today I want to concentrate on the first part of this Vs. What a man thinketh in his heart, SO HE IS! Over the yrs in my Recovery I have found this to be so true, and even in the past before I got into Recovery. When I was drinking and using those were the things that occupied my mind. All I had on my mind was how was I going to get what I needed to keep using all day long. Next was Pornography, when I let this into my mind my whole outlook on women changed. They were just a means for my Gratification. What I'm getting at is we live in a POSITIVE (GOD) NEGATIVE (Satan) world. And what and how we choose to think,dictates how we live. That is why through the Word we must train our minds to think Positive, because left to ourselves we will only think Negative. That is our nature, because we are scum low life sinners. It is so easy for us, especially today with the economy the way it is, people out of work,losing their homes etc, for us to think Negative. That is why I start my day with God. He gets my mind Positive and that closes the door for Satan to get in there and get me Negative. In Phillip 4:8 it tells us to think about things that are True, Noble, Right, Pure etc. And we can only get that Positive thinking from God and His Spirit. And where we find that Positiveness is in His Word. Positiveness is in HIS Word. Sorry I'm a little long today, but I think this is very important. I don't know about yo today but I find it very hard to be Positive in this Negative world today. But Gods Word helps me get there and pretty much stay there. And another thing about being Positive in this Negative world. As people see that, and what greater testimony for Jesus is there than that? HABD being Positive!
