Change your thinking
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and they thou shalt have good success. –Joshua 1:8
Why does meditating on the Bible bring success? Because the Bible contains God’s thoughts, and we need his thoughts. Our thoughts are small, weak, and limited to what we’ve learned and experienced, and our thoughts can hold us in bondage!
Our thoughts are often inaccurate because we don’t know the whole matter. They can also be filled with fear and failure. Study the great men and women of the Bible. Every time these great faith giants of God stayed with God and made his thinking their own, they prospered. But every time they began to believe their thoughts and became fearful, they got into trouble.
Our human thoughts are limited. But God is not limited in knowledge, wisdom, foresight, understanding, or experience. He knows everything, so he’s not limited in any way! Therefore, we need to lose our negative thinking and get the mind of Christ! Philippians 2:5 says, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” When we have the mind of Christ, we are thinking God’s thoughts. And as we believe God’s way according to his Word, our lives are changed.
Saints don’t live beneath your privilege. As you meditate in the Word, your thinking will be transformed.
Change your thinking, and you’ll change your life!
