BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU THINK
If you are going to win the battle of the mind and defeat your enemy, what you focus your attention on is crucial. The more you meditate on God’s word, the stronger you will become and the more easily you’ll win the victories. Too many Christians do not know the difference between meditating on the bible and reading the bible. They think whenever they read God’s word they are absorbing the deep things of God. Those who meditate on God’s word are those who think and think seriously about what they are reading. They may not put in these words but they are saying, “God, speak to me, touch me, as I ponder on your word, reveal its depth to me.”
In the book of Psalm 1, it begins by defining the person who is blessed, and then points out the right actions of that person. The psalmist wrote that those who meditate and do it are like productive trees and everything they do shall prosper.
The psalmist made it quite clear that meditating on God’s word brings results. As you ponder on who God is, and what He is saying to you, you will grow. It is really that simple. If you read about and allow your mind to focus on God’s love and power, that’s what operates in you.
Be careful what you think about. Proverbs 24:3. The more you think about good things, the better your life will seem. Philippians 4:8. The more you think about Jesus Christ and the principles He taught the more you become like Him and the stronger you grow and as you grow, you win the battles of your mind. “Your word have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you” Psalm 1:2-3.
