THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD THINKING (2)
“Keep this Book…always on your lips; meditate on it…Then you will be…successful.”
Jos 1:8 NIV
THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD THINKING (2)
If you want to change your life, you must change how you think and what you think about. When you think about the wrong things, your life goes wrong. But when you think about the right things, your life goes right. (1) Changing your thinking isn't easy. It's not automatic and doesn't happen on its own. Good ideas seldom go out and bump into someone. If you want to discover a good idea, you have to look for it. If you want to improve your thinking, you need to work at it--and when you become a better thinker, good ideas will keep coming. Furthermore, the amount of good thinking you do at a specific time relies mainly on the amount of good thinking you are engaging in already. (2) Changing your thinking calls for commitment. Albert Einstein said, "Thinking his hard work; that's why so few do it." When someone says, "This thought is off the top of my head," anticipate dandruff. Only people who believe thinking is easy are the ones who don't participate in it. The media, the culture, and those around you will influence your thinking unless you decide to think for yourself.
(3) Changing your thinking brings great rewards. Paul writes, "We have the mind of Christ" (1Co 2:16). When you tap into your thoughts of God and make them your own, your potential is unlimited. Gold mines run out. Stock markets suddenly decline. Real estate investments go bad. But a mind transformed by the Spirit and Word of God is like a diamond mine that lasts. It's Invaluable.
