What Are You Meditating On?

Part of studying is meditating—rolling something over and over in your mind or pondering it. If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate on aproblem all day long, if you let yourself. I call this “stinkin’ thinkin'”.

We don’t really know how messed up our thinking is until we study God’s Word and realize what we should be thinking. The Word is like a mirror. It shows us the way we should be and the way we are. Until I looked in the Word, I thought everybody else was the problem, not me.

So, what’s been on your mind lately? Stop and think about what you’ve been thinking about. If it’s stinkin’ thinkin’, change it. The good news is, you can think whatever you want to think.

You can change. Everything is subject to change except God Himself.

But you have to stop wasting your time saying things  like: “My life is never going to change. My finances are never going to change. My marriage and children will never change….”

Start saying what the Word says: “All thing are possible with God. And I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!” And think about good things so there’s no room for bad things.

Do your own thinking. Don’t let the devil do it for you.

Finally, be daring in our prayers. Be bold and tell God, “I want You to change me. I want You to use me to change anything in the world that You want to use me for. I believe that You can change anything—me, my circumstances, my family, my marriage, my finances. There’s nothing You can’t change. I know change won’t be easy, but I’m committed to be where You want me to be at all times. I won’t sit here and give in to stinkin’ thinkin’ anymore.”
