Are We Thinking?

So very easily, the world infiltrates our thinking.  We are commanded in Phil. 4:8 to "think on these things". As women we are bombarded with many things that compromise our thinking. It takes real effort to maintain our thinking...

My girls love Taylor Swift. She is delightful, and I must admit some of her songs that I have heard are just sweet, they appeal to my female tastes, romanticism, and flow easily from my tongue…

Last night, I heard my daughter playing her guitar and singing..

“I’m not a princess, this ain’t a fairytale,..

this ain’t hollywood, this is a small town..”

Everything in me started to scream…Oh yes she is a princess, and oh yes I will remind her.  Seemed silly, but its part of our thinking.  We have stopped thinking, and we take in the world, and brush it off. Our thinking becomes more compromising. “its just a song”, “its just how some people talk”, “its not as provactive as some I’ve seen”…you know what I mean. 

While pondering Philippians 4:8…I am stuck all the way back at the beginning again! “think on…” we are not even thinking. I know it sounds like I am overboard here, but we become what we think. That is a proven fact of Psycology.  If  you sing “I’m not a princess” enough times, you will soon act that out.  As a child of the King of Kings, YOU ARE ROYALTY, and the enemy is using his old tricks(because they still work) appealing to your heart, and lying to us, that its not a big deal. Its a big deal.  Know who you are IN CHRIST..Know it, think about it, its imperative to your walk in victory.  The enemy doesn’t want us to walk in victory, he is aiming for our defeat.  So the LORD speaks in Philippians 4:8..”think on these things”…

Know who you are in Christ. Your identity in HIM is beautiful, HE doesn’t lie, HE paid the ulitmate price, and I believe with all my heart, HE wants you to know! Read through these, copy them, keep them in a place where you can look over them often…If you asked Christ to come into your heart and life, and you  have surrendered your life to HIS kingship…this is who you are! THINK!
