Changing our thoughts

We often can’t understand why our thoughts are so negative and even impure.  Sometimes we wonder why our minds are so clouded and bogged down with the mess in this world, when the fact of the matter is…that’s exactly what we’re feeding it.  We want rid of the negativity but aren’t willing to seek and take in the positive.  The Lord has blessed us with His word in The Bible, but how often are we willing to take it in and read it?

What fills our minds and comes out of our mouths and actions is what’s in our hearts.  The more we seek Him the clearer we will see things.  The more time we take for Him the more at peace our hearts and minds will be.  Trust me I understand…we have jobs, kids and so many other things on our plates to take care of; seems like we don’t have time for anything else, but if we are too busy for God we are doing way more than He ever intended for us to be.

Even if we started with a few minutes in the morning…read a few scripture and say a pray; asking God to write these words on our hearts and help us to walk in His will for our lives.  Maybe you can find a devotional book that has a scripture for the day along with a small story or uplifting word to support it.  When our hearts are sincere He hears us and will help us along the way.  He loves and cares for us more than we will ever know or understand. 

I can honestly say when you decide to give Him your time, energy and devotion that your life will truly change for the better.  Darkness and light can’t dwell in the same place and when you open yourself up to His light…He will chase out the dark.  Your thoughts will begin to change, next will follow your actions and finally you will notice the change in your heart.  Not only will you not want the negativity in your life, but you will learn to speak over it and even walk away from it.    

                God gave us this life and wants the best for us.  I believe that He wants us to prosper… to have His best in all aspects and areas of our lives.  When we seek Him and fill our hearts and minds with His word then we are able to live in that best.  Yes, there will still be tough days and hard seasons in our lives, but with God we can make it through with the peace and clarity that can only come from Him.  Take a little time out and over it up to Him today.
