If your thoughts were posted on a TV screen on your forehead you
wouldn't have any problem controlling them. What are you choosing to
magnify today? Does it glorify God or the devil? The choice is yours.
Bitterness, anger, and selfish desires glorify and empower the enemy of
your soul. When you meditate on negative things you are submitting to
the evil one who is whispering in your ear. If someone offered you a "penny for your thoughts", would they be short-changed? Choose to meditate on positive possibilities, beautiful dreams, and goals that honor God. Fix your mind on Jesus.
"Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your
minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic,
compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the
ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you
learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God,
who makes everything work together, will work you into his most
excellent harmonies." ~ Phil. 4:8,9 MSG
