Watch your thoughts

Good morning guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're doing very great. Happy Sunday to you. Let's quickly review yesterday's article.

There are some people that believe that once an individual reaches a certain age, they won't be able to achieve success. This is very far from the truth. We have stories of people who have achieved things regardless of their age.

This article is to encourage you that you can still be successful at any age in life.

There are time we were told that once you get out of college, it'll be hard and impossible to go back to school. We were also told that once you become forty years old, your career is coming to an end. You have to delete those mindsets and believe in yourself and your abilities.

If you also believe that someone over forty can’t be successful later in life, it is very wrong.

Although it is never too late to become successful, it is difficult because there will be more hindrance in your way because of the age factors. As you get older, you will need to have more courage and confidence than when you were younger. You'll already have the needed work experience and skills, what will be left is the connection.

Know that it's not too late to do something great as long as you desire it.You can still be successful. Age is never a barrier to achieving something great. Stay away from negative vibes and energy. Stay away from people that talk down on your pursuit of success.

Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted.

Think only good thoughts and delete bad thoughts. The Bible says we are to think about things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent and worthy of praise. And we are to think about those things that are worthy of devotion and perseverance (Philippians 4:8).

We can’t let our minds dwell on things that are sinful or ungodly. Instead we have to let the indwelling Holy Spirit control our thoughts. But when the bad thoughts come, they don’t go away! We must take them captive!

So how do we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ? Well, let me give you an example. Looking at something with lustful feelings causes sin.

Our thoughts may seem insignificant and harmless, but they matter! Thoughts of fear, lust, envy, anger, and bitterness, if not taken captive to obey Christ, can lead to serious sin infestations in our lives.

When the bad thoughts come, are you taking them captive and reorienting your thinking to what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely commendable, excellent, or worthy of praise? Or are the bad thoughts allowed to stay around?

Jesus says one way to guard our hearts is to meditate on His Word (Psalm 119:9). We can meditate by memorizing His Word and/or taking time in silence to think about what we’ve read. It might be helpful to record the scripture on a note card.

Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it.
