July 7th Devotional

Posted on July 7, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
Our minds and the thoughts we create are truly amazing.  If one looks back in history, almost all of humanities greatest accomplishments started with a thought.  This thought then led to life changing words and actions.  Powerful!  God created us to be thinking, changing individuals who live life fully and fearlessly.  But, beware of your thoughts.  They can lead down paths that are not God-centered.  Resentment, anger, ingratitude and other sinister thoughts can lead to unhealthy emotions and, possibly, death!  Really!  Our minds are so powerful, they can (and often do) affect us physically as well as mentally.  So, be careful of your thoughts and stay on the path of peace with God.  Hugs and Love, Scott

Trust Me In All Your Thoughts.

  I know that some thoughts are unconscious or semiconscious, and I do not hold you responsible for those.  But you can direct conscious thoughts much more than you may realize.  Practice thinking in certain ways-trusting Me, thanking Me-and those thoughts become more natural.  Reject negative or sinful thoughts as soon as you become aware of them.  Don’t try to hide them from Me; confess them and leave them with Me.  Go on your way lightheartedly.  This method of controlling your thoughts will keep your mind in My Presence and your feet on the path of Peace.

Psalm 20:7 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

1 John 1:9 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Luke 1:79  79to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
