"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." Proverbs 23:7a (KJV)
Are you a dweller? I can be, especially if something is bothering me. Our thoughts are often a reflection of our hearts. If we think about what we're going to say to get back at the person who has offended us, it shows our heart is in a dark place rather than a forgiving place. If we think about how to make someone's day extra special, it reflects a joyful, giving heart. People often lose sleep because of thoughts running thru their heads. Turn it over to the Lord in prayer and get a good nights sleep. A restful heart is a peaceful heart.
Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." (NIV)
One of my favorite verses. Oh, to attain to it!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I'm a dweller. Sometimes on good things, sometimes on hurt feelings, sometimes on just whatever. Giving it all to the Lord...that's my goal.
