When you woke up today, the Father cared for you. When you go to bed tonight, he will still care for you. No decision that you make today can change the Father's love. However, just one poor or careless decision can alter your life forever. So 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 (Philippians 4:8). Over and over we hear, your life will follow your thoughts; yet do we equate that to change.
Real change requires effort and determination. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33). Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4). So why are so many still in lack, have an an impoverished soul. Praying, pushing, seeking breakthrough; yet no results can be found. Could it be our thinking is stinking. Could we talk our way right out a blessing and abundance. Every day when I arise, I pray one simple prayer. Lord, put a guard over my mouth today, least I sin against you. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof (Proverbs 18:21).
Replace your words with the word of God. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and Morrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). I hear the Lord saying, give your heart to me today, and I will never let you down....
