This little lady-in-the-making is Olivia…her thoughts are being formed!
“As a woman thinks in her heart so is she” encompasses the whole of our being and touches every condition and circumstance of our life. We are literally what we think! In the armory of thought we forge the weapons by which we make or break ourselves. We women are looking for a way to control…well, here is a good one…take control of your thoughts! Become the master of your thought life.
Good thoughts never produce bad consequences; bad thoughts never produce good results. “…a prudent woman gives thought to her steps.” Pro. 14:15
The mind is like a spring garden. When cultivated and cared for or allowed to run wild with little thought or attention; either way… it will produce fruit. Fruit that reproduces after like kind. Olivia has a mommy whose thoughts produce good fruit and she is watching her mommy.
What are the thoughts of your heart?
Selfishness, envy, jealousy, competitive spirit
or service, love, joy, peace?
What fruit are you reproducing in the lives
of your prince and princesses?
Until our thoughts are linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment. Absence of purpose leaves the door wide open to fall prey to fear, worry, and self-pity, all of which lead to failure, unhappiness and loss. Maintaining “thought-control” frees us “to think with purpose and hence, to enter the ranks of those who only recognize failure as one of the path-ways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.” James Allen
“…the Lord knows the thoughts of man. For the Word of God… judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight”. Psa. 94: 11; Heb. 4:12
He knows our thoughts!
He judges our thoughts!
Are you hiding or making an attempt to?
I don’t know about you, but my earnest prayer this morning is…
“Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.” Ps. 139: 23
Speaking of searching…oops! Book dropped! Csn you guess her thoughts now??
