What are you thinking?

Think back over the last hour, or the last day.

What thoughts have been filling your mind?

Finances? Job? Children? Marriage? Parents?

Or maybe it's been more like this list:

Lust? Adultery? Greed? Envy? Bitterness? Hate?

Really, there's not much difference between the two lists. Either list could be leading you into sinful thoughts, words or actions.

Paul reminds us in Colossians 3:1-3

"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, no on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

If we are children of God, then we should think like children of God. We should be thinking about God. We should be thinking about Christ. We should be thinking with an eternal perspective.

Finances? "But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory" (Phil 4:19).

Hatred? Bitterness? Greed? "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you" (Eph 4:31-32).

For every thought listed above, and many others, there is a holy thought with which it can be replaced.

Think on those things!
