THINK WELL.

You are not different from what you think. Inasmuch as man is a spirit, he has a soul and lives in a body. Critical to how you function as a human being is your soul’s activities, which include thinking. This has the potential to affect the quality of life you will live as a Christian.

To think well, you must give yourself the right atmosphere for that. You can’t watch things that minister depression and expect to operate in joy, and neither can you take in all the bad news in the world and think that your faith will grow. This is because these things affect how you think.

No one thinks in a vacuum. We think based on the things we expose ourselves to. When you want to think well, it comes at a price—the price of being selective in what you hear and watch. Although some may think this practice restricts you, it is more beneficial than allowing the wrong things to affect your thinking.

The encouragement to think well can’t be overemphasized since your life will always move in the direction of your dominant thoughts. Be careful what you are thinking about. Study and meditate on God’s word always, and it will help you think well.

Read: Philippians 4:8: “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”

Prayer: Lord, I pray for grace to keep my thoughts on Your word.
