Diligence

By Adeshola Abraham 

Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

The Bible clearly teaches that the way we think determines the way we feel, and the way we feel determines the way we act. So if you want to change your actions, you have to return to the source and change the way you think. At times you may act resentful. Why? Because you feel resentful. And do you know why you feel resentful? Because you are thinking resentful thoughts. The same is true of anger, worry, lust and other destructive thought patterns.

Jesus said, 'You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free' (John 8:32 NLT). When you base your life on truth - when you live with the right kind of thoughts, not misconceptions or false beliefs, and you base your life on thinking from God's Word - you will be set free. You will find your old habits, feelings and actions beginning to fall away. When you focus solely on removing bad thoughts, you create a vacuum into which the bad thoughts can return. But when you replace bad thoughts with good ones - scriptural ones - you are empowered by God to live the life of blessing he wants you to enjoy.

I pray for you: All your good thoughts shall be established in Jesus name. The loving counsel of God and His thoughts concerning you shall stand forever in Jesus name. Amen.

Good Morning, Happy Sunday and a Blessed New Week.
