From Thought to Thought.


The human brain

What does the mind do when I’m not looking?  Listen to what’s being thought.   We are told to bring every thought under our control.  It’s not like I can stop the thoughts from coming.  But I can certainly nip them in the bud.  I see a person.   What thought responds to my eyes?  Does it need to be smashed by the self control Jesus affords me?  I see a commercial on TV or a billboard.  What does that sight inspire?  If it’s not a godly thought or response, then I need to address it immediately.  For it’s in the thoughts that a man begins a sin.  And if I can listen to what I’m thinking I have a better chance of avoiding great saddness later.
