If you can control your thoughts – you can control your actions. Too many people try to change their actions without trying to change the way they think.

If you constantly entertain angry thoughts toward someone, it’s only a matter of time before you make an angry action – like speaking negatively about someone or taking revenge. If you think about eating something you shouldn’t, guess what you’ll end up eating? It’s inevitable. Our thoughts lead to actions.

If we want to change our actions we must take a hard look at our thoughts. Everyone thinks thoughts that aren’t the best – but what do we do with those thoughts? Do we follow God’s directive to take our thoughts captive? We choose what to think on. If a negative thought enters our mind, we have a choice to continue thinking that thought and the ones that will follow or we can refuse to muse!

When we refuse to think on negative thoughts, we replace the thought with one we choose to think on. We have a choice. Choose wisely!
