Our thoughts are important. We are who we think we are.
It is, important to realize that, what we think we are, we will be or become. We all have set or pre-established thoughts, traditions, expectations, goals, patterns or ways of doing things, which reflects our attitudes and our level of understanding. We will believe what we think before we believe what someone else telling us.
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he:..
The word "thinks" means -
To act as gate-keeper,
We are gatekeepers of our minds, as we allow ourselves to think on something.
Philippians 4:8 says, Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
We must keep our minds focused on positive things. Positive words are found in the Bible.
We need guidance and direction.
