Think - to have a conscious mind, to some extent of reasoning, remembering experiences, making rational decisions. To employ one's mind rationally and objectively in evaluating or dealing with a given situation.
Thinking, it seems, is something people just don't want to do anymore. We are so impulsive, so quick to talk, quick to anger, quick to provoke, quick to eat, quick to sleep, quick to quit even quick to hate.
The time of going mindlessly through the life is over. We have to think our way through this life with the Word of God that gives us hope, increases our faith and fosters the power of positive thinking. If we focus on what's going on in the world, we will have every reason to be and feel negative but a negative outlook and attitude won't change the world around us. As a matter of fact, it makes it worse because it shows a lack of faith without which is impossible to please God. The power to go from negative to positive is in our ability to think.
As believers of Jesus Christ, we have to take our thought process to the next level by putting the Word of God on our situations.
Philippians 4:8 says, "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".
Don't let what is going on around you cause you to lose faith, act impulsively or have a negative outlook. Put the Word of God on your situation and Think Your Way Through!
