Thoughts Lead to Actions

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
— Colossians 3:2 (NIV)

In my field of work, brainstorming is often encouraged to spark creativity or “out of the box” thinking. As a team we jot down ideas no matter how far fetched, and never regard a suggestion as a bad suggestion. Even though these sessions are just random thoughts, eventually one thought leads us into action.

As a believer, it’s important to think about what you are thinking about. Your thoughts generate your actions. If you rehearse cursing your co-worker out every day, more than likely your thought will become reality. If you focus your thoughts on having a great day, more than likely that too will become a reality. Jesus wants you to set your thoughts on things above and not on earthly things. Today, become aware of your thoughts and make sure they align with things above.

Whatcha thinking?

 

Lord, thank You for giving me heavenly things to think about. Empower me to focus on things pleasing to You and to think about what I am thinking about. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

 

-          This is my prayer
