Riches of the Mind


Is your mind rich and full of noble thoughts, or is it a garbage dump of putrefying refuse? It’s time to take charge and purify your heart and mind and make them overflowing with riches.  

August’s Awakening, Day 8

It is riches of the mind only that make a man rich and happy.

 —Thomas Fuller

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

 —Norman Vincent Peale 

 

For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; Matthew 15:19–20a NIV  

 

            It’s amazing what a change of attitude and thought patterns can do for your whole perspective on self, life, others, and the future. Your thoughts are powerful and controlling— words and images that are alive and vie for attention and priority. Yet you are to control your thoughts, not the reverse.  Your spirit being must rule over your soul and mind. This takes daily effort by reading Scripture, prayer, and seeking fully the counsel of the Holy Spirit. Riches of the mind must be mined deep and the impurities purged and discarded continually. Poisons and toxins must be flushed and made fresh and new with the Living Water of Christ. If you sincerely practice the continual renewal of your mind, it will slowly begin to happen and transform all those negative pathways into positives. It’s up to you. Riches of the mind or a bankrupt and decrepit mind. You make the choices each day.
