Words of wisdom: I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses, therefore choose life that you and your descendants may live. Deuteronomy 30:19.
Life point: Welcome to the month of March and Choose life!
You and I will have many choices to make throughout our lives . The Lord told His people that He had set before them life and death and urged them to choose life. Proverbs 18:21 also tells us we can choose life or death.
It says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it ( death or life). “
Thousands of thoughts are presented to our minds every day, and we must allow our minds to be renewed after the spirit and not after the flesh. Our carnal ( worldly, fleshly) minds have had so much practice operating freely that we can think wrong thoughts without much effort at all. On the other hand, we have to purposely choose to think right thoughts.
After we have finally decided to be like minded with God, then we will need to choose and continue to choose right thoughts.
When we begin to feel that the battle of the mind is just too difficult and that we are not going to make it, we must cast down that negative kind of thinking. We must choose to think that we are going to make it and decide not to quit.
When bombarded with doubts and fears, we need to take a stand and say: “ I will never give up! God is on my side. He loves me, and He is helping me!”
Our thoughts become our words . Therefore, it is vitally important that we choose life giving thoughts!
Prayer
Lord Jesus give me life giving thoughts always in Jesus Christ name.Amen!
