As we think, so we go. Think about that!
Take a look at what the apostle Paul writes:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate (think) on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4: 6-9)
Paul reminds us that as we think, we will go. Our thoughts are turned into actions and thus our experiences. In fact, science backs it up. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psychological discipline which reveals that much of what we do today is a result of negative or faulty patterns of thinking . . . addictions, eating disorders, relationships, even depression and anxiety!
Think about it . . . science and the bible agreeing? Maybe we should listen to this!!!! We can indeed be changed by the renewing of our minds! (Romans 12:2)
