Good
Morning!
Have
you been remembering to "stop and think about what you are thinking
about"? I know, from personal experience, that this is something we have
to work at. It is not going to be easy.....especially if you have
what I call a "busy" mind. I used to think that I was born
with one!
 That was because I did
not know what The Lord said in 2Timothy 1:7.....in that verse He
tells us that He has "given" us a sound mind (the Amplified
Bible says He gave us a "calm, undisturbed and well-balanced mind")!
Now, that is something to really "stop and think about"!
Amen? This "promise" could apply to many different situations,
but I will save that for another time. For now, I will just let you
"stop and think about that"!
This
reminds me about how all through the Psalms, the writer would say
"SELAH". The word "Selah" means to (pause or stop,
and calmly think about that)! See! The Lord is giving us
"confirmation" about this message that I am sending to you, even as
I am typing! Praise God!
OK,
so how do we "stop" thinking thoughts that cause us confusion,
stress, anger, resentment, depression, unforgiveness, grief, sorrow, anxiety, doubt,
fear and/or unbelief? Please notice that none of these
"things" come from God, and none of them bring PEACE! The
"answer" to the question is simple....we "renew" our minds
with the WORD OF GOD!
So,
I am going to be giving you "scriptures" concerning these things,
and today I am going to start with Isaiah 26:3. That scripture says that
The Lord will give perfect "peace" to those whose mind is
stayed upon Him!
We
have "only just begun", so stay tuned in~~~~~~~~
Have
a Blessed Day!!
(Keep it Simple!)
In His Love, Luanne
