AN OPEN MIND???????????

All my life people have either bragged about having

an open mind, or said we should have one.  But if you

pay any attention, most of them have collected a lot of

trash in their "open mind".

How do I know this?

Jesus Christ gives us the answer.

"A good person brings good out of the treasure

of good things in his heart; a bad person brings

bad out of his treasure of bad things.  For the 

mouth speaks what the heart is full of."  

(Luke 6:45 GNT) 

  

All you have to do is listen.  What comes out

is what a person is full of.

Would it not be better to simply have a "guarded" mind?

That is, guard what you allow into your mind.

Consider this Scripture.

 "Be careful how you think; your life is 
 shaped by your thoughts."  
(Proverbs 4:23 GNT)   





 

THOUGHTS FROM ABOVE

"Turn to the Lord and pray to him,
now that he is near.
Let the wicked leave their way of life
and change their way of thinking.
Let them turn to the LORD, our God:
he is merciful and quick to forgive.
'My thoughts,' says the LORD,
'are not like yours,
and my ways are different from yours.
As high as the heavens are above the earth,
so high are my ways and thoughts above yours.'"
(Isaiah 55:6-9 TEV)

WHAT'S UP THERE?

Reputedly:

Ralph Waldo Emerson said,

"A man is what he thinks about all day long."

and,

Marcus Aurelius said,

"A man's life is what his thoughts make of it."

and,

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said,

"Change your thoughts, and you change your world."

But even more importantly God through the 

wisest man who ever lived - Solomon- said,

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:"

(Proverbs 23:7a KJV)

What is your mind full of?

Yourself and your desires

or 

God and his purpose? 

GOD'S WORD PREVAILS

"My thoughts, says the LORD,

'are not like yours,

and my ways are different from yours.

As high as the heavens are above the earth,

so high are my ways and thoughts above yours.

'My word is like snow and the rain

that come down from the sky to water the earth.

They make the crops grow and provide seed

for planting and food to eat.

So also will be the word that I speak -

it will not fail to do what I plan for it;

it will do everything I send it to do."

(Isaiah 55:8-11 GNT"
