Did you know that if you want your life to go in a certain direction, you have to start thinking in that direction? The Scripture tells us in Proverbs that “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” That tells us that life is going in the direction of our most prominent thoughts.

That is why the writer of Proverbs warns us: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” If we’re going to become everything God intends us to be, we must take captive the thoughts that are playing in our mind, those thoughts that are ruling our life.

We can’t afford to allow negative thoughts to push us around. We have to push our thoughts around. We want our life to go in the right direction and that direction is directed by right thoughts. We have to seriously guard what we’re thinking about. Start pushing. If you need victory today, start thinking overcoming thoughts.

Use the power of your thoughts and start saying, “If God is for me, who can be against me? Who would even dare to point a finger at me?Jesus overcame death and the grave so I can overcome. In fact,God has called me ‘more than a conqueror’ in Christ.” God has given you His Word.

You can’t control what anyone else does, says or thinks, but you can control what you think. You can control your attitudes, filters you use and that’s the key. If your life is not going in the direction you want, push your thoughts in the direction you want.

God says He wants to renew your mind and transform your life and it can start now. The renewing and the transformation can take place as soon as you choose the right thoughts to think. Let me encourage you today. Know that God is for you. He’s given you an outline of what you need to do.
