Living circumspectly…
Being conscious of your thoughts!
Yes we are continually bombarded with thoughts and impressions,
… particularly through social media and the news!
The question is,
… what are we doing about those thoughts and impressions?
bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
2 Cor 10 5
Great advice … since we are thinking ALL the time,
… and very often many of those thoughts are simply negative.
We need to diligently start taking notice of all thoughts
… and not simply ignore or disregard them
or even worse, acting upon those thoughts
… without actively involving God in our decisions.
However …
it is not only about negative thoughts,
… but even more so about positive thoughts.
What are we doing with them?
Consider this…
Many of our thoughts are more than likely
… from God or inspired by His Word,
and unless we take those thoughts captive,
… allowing God to develop them in us and for us,
then, all that God wants to reveal to us,
… all that God wants to empower us with,
… all that involves our future and success,
may well be totally lost.
Therefore be sure to …
… seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be added to you.
Matt 6 33
