When Our Thoughts Are Not Right
Let us examine our heart and mind that they will be holy before our Heavenly Father and pleasing unto Him. Sometimes we think we are right, but that may not be true. Ask Jesus to search your hearts and see if there is any wicked way in it. Let His conviction dwell in your heart to purify your soul. God will give grace and glory for us seeking His will and not our own. He gave us free will, but we should not waste it. He knows our thoughts today and He waits patiently for us to come to Him in repentance. Wrong thoughts can lead us astray and hinder our walk with Jesus, so let Him renew your mind and set your thoughts on what is good and pure. Bad thoughts will come, but you do not have to entertain them. Through Jesus you can recognize them, reject them, and replace them with truth. AMEN!
