TODAY’S TOPIC: FIX YOUR MIND AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Scripture: ‘Think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].’
Philippians 4:8 AMPC
Paul writes: ‘Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honourable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]’ (v. 8 AMPC).
If you are serious about wanting a better life, you must change the way you think. The best way to stop thinking about something is simply to think about something else. When you don’t enjoy a certain TV programme, what do you do? Switch channels! Does the channel you don’t like no longer exist? No, it’s there anytime you choose to switch back to it. Likewise, when you find yourself stuck in a repeated thought pattern that’s detrimental to you – one that plays like a broken record in your mind – take action. Refuse to loan your mind to the devil for his scheme.
The only place a thought can live is in your mind. The only power a thought has over you is the power you give it. God says, ‘I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life’ (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV). God gives you the options, but He won’t exercise them for you. Choosing the right thought is like flipping a light switch; it dispels darkness and illuminates the room. Your most dominant thoughts will control your life, so make sure they line up with God’s Word. Today ‘fix’ your mind and change your life.
Bible Reading: Job 36-37, 1 Corinthians 9
