What Are You Thinking? - David Carley - June 1982

David Carley

What we allow ourselves to think will eventually determine whether we enter God's Kingdom! How familiar are we with our thoughts and how they affect our lives? As man thinks in his heart, so is he, says God's Word (Prov. 23:7). Here God reveals a fundamental law by which our minds work. We are, in essence, the sum total of what our thoughts make us. What we allow ourselves to think and believe is extremely important, because our thoughts are the building blocks from which all our ideas, imaginations, habits and ultimate character are formed. Our actions are always preceded by thoughts. Man has always followed after his own thoughts and beliefs. God said the people of ancient Israel walked "after their own thoughts" (Isa. 65:2). In the time of Israel's judges, "every man did that which was right in his own eyes" (Judg. 21 :25). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
