Where the head goes....The body follows!!!!!!!!

Hello friends. Have you had a good week? Well, it is almost the weekend and some of you will get some much needed rest. It sure has been beautiful here in east Tennessee but, it got a little cold yesterday. I was thinking this morning about something. When I went through defensive tactics and how to control suspects in the police academy many years ago. One thing that I thought was pretty cool. The lead instructor said "Where the head goes the body follows." Trust me when I tell you that it is for the most part true. If you think about it that is what sometimes gets us in trouble in the world too! Let's dig into some of the good stuff and see what we can learn..........

Bible Verse: Proverbs 23:7 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." 

I have heard people say you can accomplish anything if you really put your mind to it. I guess that can be a double edged sword. This is it in a nut shell "We are not what we think we are, what we think....We are."

I have seen people that didn't swear or drink, hang out with those that let er' rip and don't miss a sip. After awhile those people start to let a cuss word out and maybe have just one drink. Let's not be knuckleheads. We have all heard the sayings "If you lie with the dogs, you wake up with the fleas." So, what are you allowing into your mind and in doing so to control your heart, your actions, and your words? Here is a really cool thought! God made you where you can't think two thoughts at once. If you're thinking what's right, you can't be thinking what's wrong. And as you think, you will do and become.

I guess the bottom line is guard your mind. Center your mind upon the Lord Jesus. Don't let the devil take away your pure hearted devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. I promise the devil will go into overdrive to keep you from getting your mind focused on Christ. We must stay in love with Jesus and there won't be any room for those filthy, dirty, wicked, nasty, lustful, and prideful thoughts that highjack our noodles.

So, let's start today to become more active in policing our thoughts and bringing them into focus on Christ. Remember Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Also, check out 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. I hope this helps you keep your mind clear and focused. This is a daily sometimes hourly task. have a great day and God bless.
