Think About What You’re Thinking About

Scripture

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.... - Proverbs 23:7 (AMP)

For many years of my life, I didn’t realize that I could choose my thoughts. I simply thought whatever fell into my head; mostly lies from the enemy or just plain nonsense—things that really were not worth spending my time thinking about. Then one day, God spoke to my heart: Think about what you’re thinking about. It was a major turning point for me! You see, when we take time to ask ourselves, What have I been thinking about? we can identify our problems and be on our way to freedom very quickly. —Joyce
