You are Not a Victim of Your Thoughts

You are Not a Victim of Your Thoughts

Life has a way of unloading it’s rubbish on our doorstep! Your husband works too much. Your wife gripes too much. Your boss expects too much. Your kids whine too much. The result? Trash. Loads of pessimism, guilt, anxiety—it all piles up. And what about the Pharisees? They killed Christ in their hearts before they killed him on the cross.

Today’s thoughts are tomorrow’s actions. Could that be why Paul writes, “Love…keeps no record of wrongs?” (1 Corinthians 13:5). We do have a choice. Paul says we do when he writes, “We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ”(2 Corinthians 10:5). Selfishness, step back! Envy…get lost! You are not a victim of your thoughts. If today’s thoughts are tomorrow’s actions, what happens when we fill our minds with thoughts of God’s love? Will standing beneath the downpour of his grace change the way we feel about others? Absolutely!

God’s Grace

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,” Ephesians 2:8

The Bible says that Noah saw rain fall in “mighty torrents.” *

But it also says “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” **

Noah and his family were spared judgment because Noah received God’s grace.

You see, Grace is not a result of man’s sinlessness.

Grace: is God’s Righteousness at Christ’s expense.

Noah’s righteousness could only come by God’s grace through his faith.

The Bible says, “God saved you by his grace when you believed.
And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.”

Friend, you and I are just like Noah.

Our righteousness can only come through God.

Let God’s rain of grace flood your soul and cleanse you from sin.

It begins by placing your faith in Jesus Christ
