Monday... Which voice in our mind do we usually grab on to?

Monday... Which voice in our mind do we usually grab on to? It usually is the loudest one, isn't it? But just because it is the loudest doesn't mean it is the right one.

Have you ever been in a situation and a negative thought runs through your mind and you say it out loud or write it on the internet and it may cause some pain in whoever is listening and you wished that you hadn't said it but you can't take it back? Of course that has happened to each one of us. But the key is what we put into our minds comes out.

Look at Psalm 1:1 & 2. It says, "Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with the mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all the do."

The Message puts it this way, "How well God must like you - you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College. Instead you chew on Scripture day and night. You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, never dropping a leaf, always  in blossom."

It is so easy here on the internet to read the thoughts that people share, even Christians share and their thoughts show where they are hanging out, who they are listening to. I'm afraid too many are hanging out at Smart-Mouth College instead of chewing on Scripture day and night. 

Let's plant out tree in the soil that brings fresh fresh fruit every morning. My heart break when I read so much of the negative and hurtful comments that so many Christians are spewing out on the internet. It shows where they are hanging out, where their tree is planted.

This is a great time to show God's love but if we do it is because we are feeding in the right place and being filled with His love not the world's hate. 

The Amplified Bible says it this way, "Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example], nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of scoffers (ridiculers). But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and His law [His precepts and teaching] he [habitually] meditates day and night. And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season; Its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity.]"

May God's voice be the one we grab on to. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning
