All thoughts bear fruit ~ life-giving or destructive. When we meditate on God’s word, He expands on His truths through life-sustaining rich insights. Insights empower. They bring clarity, wisdom, understanding, and direction.
Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” Caroline Leaf is a Christian neuroscientist. She uses a very gnarled wire tree to illustrate how our toxic thoughts create such chaos in our brains.
We are a reflection of our thoughts. Meditation on God’s word changes our brain’s neural pathways. Amazing. We are truly fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14.
Consider: all of God’s thoughts are life-giving. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thought of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Psalm 139:17 says, “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them.”
