Thinking Things Through July 7, 2022

“Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny!” -Anonymous

What do you listen to the most? Do you hear God’s voice as He seeks to guide your life, as you read His word, or sit with Him in prayer? Or do you let in the voices of the world until they become so loud that you are surrounded by chaos and noise?

The things you think about the most will be the things that drive you to take an action and it is your actions that need guidance every day. We seek God’s favor so that all we do will please Him and create opportunities for those around us to be blessed.

When your thoughts are out of line, that is, not in line with God’s intention for your life, you need to come back to Him and seek Him once again. Let His words come into your heart and mind and your actions will bring you the fruit of goodness and joy. Listen for His voice and look for the things that bring you to your knees in praise today.

“Lord, listen to my prayer; let my cry for help come to You. Do not hide from me in my time of trouble.” - Psalm 102:1-2 NCV

Let us pray: Lord, we hear the noise of the world way too much. Please help us be quiet enough to hear Your words of love and encouragement today. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
