“We Are What We Think”

Henry Ford said it this way, “If you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” Remember the children’s book “The Little Engine That Could.” Wasn’t that book about a little train going up and over the hill because it thought it could. Wise Solomon wrote through inspiration these words, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). The apostle Paul tells us to have the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5). Notice what he continued to write in a few verses later, “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. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you” (Philippians 4:8,9). In other words, “Think right, do right.” We are what we think. Tomorrow, we will take a closer look at this little word “Do.” Let’s go out there today having the mind of Christ and doing what’s right! Love y’all and have a blessed weekend, Tim
