Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he ….”

What is going on in your heart? Are you thinking of your present challenges or God’s promises to you? As a Christian, the content of your heart matters a lot to God. Our thoughts have the ability to limit who we are, what we can do or what we can become. When you think right, you are training yourself to act right. When our mind is focused on our problems, they are magnified, but when we think about God’s provision for our problems, His answer is magnified. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

The greatest source of human trouble is bothering and worrying about tomorrow. In Matthew 6:34, the Bible says, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” You cannot just get rid of negative thoughts by rebuking them. You should also replace them with Godly thoughts. Any fleshly effort you make towards resisting negative or sinful thoughts actually strengthens the hold of such thoughts on you. The best way is to replace them with the thoughts of God. Have you been thinking about your past, your failures, your mistakes, your challenges? Now is the time to feed on the Word of God, which contains His promises for you. You must meditate on the Word so that you will have the kind of faith that believes that delay is not denial. God’s time is the best, and at God’s time, everything is beautiful.

Prayer: O Holy Spirit, help me to focus on You alone, in Jesus’ name! Amen!
