"The scripture cannot be broken"

Jn 10

DEVOTIONAL
The Power of Thinking

Did you know that thoughts can actually make you more anxious, happy, fearful, or content? And what you spend time thinking about has the power to affect your emotions, your actions, and ultimately, your character? Your thoughts are some of the most powerful things about you.

Scripture has a lot to say about our thoughts because God knows the power of our minds. Isaiah 26:3 says that God will keep our hearts in perfect peace if we keep our minds fixed on Him.

Can you imagine that? Perfect peace.

The more time we spend focusing our thoughts on God and His Word, the more our hearts will be kept in peace. That is a powerful thought, especially in a world that is constantly looking for peace and unity.

The starting point for this peace is trusting God. We must come to Him trusting in who He is, and having faith in what He has done for us. We know that God is good and just. So if we have faith in Him, we know that we are accepted and loved by Him. And those who trust in God are given access to Him and His presence.

Perfect peace is available to those who consistently trust in God, and fix their thoughts on Him.

How many of your thoughts are spent on things relating to God? Do you keep your mind focused on Him when you’re feeling anxious or stressed? What are some simple ways you can continue to remind yourself to think about God throughout your day?

Spend some time thinking about the power of your own thoughts and the access you’ve been given to God through Scripture. Commit to building the habit of centering your thoughts on God so that you can experience His perfect peace.

I just had an interesting/scary thought as I was cutting off some mould (mold for the US readers ?) on a piece of cheese I wanted for lunch...

Last week I read through Father's instructions on leopracy and what to do when there is mould in a house or clothing. The different tests that the priest has to do, etc.

Now, I am sitting here with a slice of cheese that I have just cut the mould off of. I know there would be those for and against the idea of eathing anything that had mould on as the mould only spawn once the mycelium has fully matured inside its growth medium (my cheese in this instance). BUT I have been raised not to waste food... ?

What I am wondering about is whether there is anything in Scripture that warns us against eating mould that is on food? Brie and many other cheeses are covered in mould.

If you have a thought or Scripture on this then please share it below. If you have a good Article that you can publish then please publish it under the Articles so that others may also learn.

"Turn on, tune in, drop out" is a phrase popularized by Timothy Leary sometime in the 1960’s. As Leary speaks about his drug induced revelations he tells listeners to do whatever they want to do, be whoever they want to be. Living the way we are designed to live is impossible when we do whatever we want. We are to listen for the Creator’s voice and obey His instructions.

"The heart of the wicked is little worth."
