Did you know that you talk nonstop in your head?

Some thoughts are neutral. Oh, mayonnaise, where are you?

Some are positive. Woohoo! I found the mayonnaise in aisle 12. Good job, Lucy.You’re quite the sleuth.

Some are trashy. What?! A bazillion calories in a tablespoon of mayonnaise. You already have cellulite on cellulite, you fatso. Put it back. Ugh!

Thoughts are powerful.

The Bible underlines thought power. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7, NLT).

When you think well your emotions and actions will line up with God’s plan and purpose for you:

an abundant life.

Thinking well is the result of a Holy Spirit-controlled mind. Take a look at this verse.

“Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what the sinful nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of a sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace” (Romans 8:5).

In other words, the sinful nature prefers bad company like lust and greed and lies. Lots of lies. Satan tempts you to lie to yourself and wallow in depression, strike out in anger or worse.

A Spirit-controlled mind wants what God wants, that His will be done.

But how?

To think well you need to continually believe. “Continual,” a present participle in the Greek, basically means, now that you believe Christ for your salvation keep on continually believing Him all day, every day.

It is a faith walk. Kinda like marriage.

Remember the day you walked the aisle, pretty in white, butterflies tickling your tummy, and you said “I do”?

But then you had to continue to make a go at marriage day after day.

Even moment by moment on the hard days,

or months

or years.

Thinking well is like this. You must choose to think well daily.

Or they’ll stink like trash.

Did you know that you talk nonstop in your head?

Some thoughts are neutral. Oh, mayonnaise, where are you?

Some are positive. Woohoo! I found the mayonnaise in aisle 12. Good job, Lucy.You’re quite the sleuth.

Some are negative. What?! A bazillion calories in a tablespoon of mayonnaise.You already have cellulite on cellulite, you fatso. Put it back. Ugh!

What Is “Thinking Well”?

Thinking well is the result of a Holy Spirit-controlled mind. Take a look at this verse.

“Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what the sinful nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of a sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace” (Romans 8:5, NIV).

In other words, the sinful nature resists God and his ways. It prefers bad company like lust and greed and lies. Lots of lies, Satan is the father of lies. He tempts you to lie to yourself and wallow in depression, strike out in anger or worse.

A Spirit-controlled mind wants what God wants, that His will be done.

How Do You Think Well?

To think well you need to continually believe.

“Continual,” a present participle in the Greek, basically means, now that you believe Christ for your salvation keep on continually believing Him all day, every day.

When you continually believe God you are thinking well, and your emotions and actions fall in line.

Continual belief is a faith walk. It’s not easy. Consider folks in the Bible who harbored the sin of unbelief. Among them:

Abraham. He lied. He passed Sarah off as his sister to protect himself against Egypt’s pharaoh.

Moses. He murdered.

David. He bedded another man’s wife. Yes, adultery.

Naomi. She pity-partied.

And Eve. She and her hubby ate the forbidden fruit and. You know the rest of the story.

Can you imagine how your emotions would soar if you continually believed God and thought well?

Can you imagine how your choices might change? No more fear or anger or depression or addiction?

So do you need your head examined? We all do.
