Galatians 5:16 says, “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” Romans 8:5 helps us understand the two results of our thoughts. It says, “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.”

When we contemplate His ways, 1 Corinthians 2:13 says that we compare spiritual things with spiritual. We know that God is Holy. No sin can touch Him. 1 Peter 2:22 says that no deceit was found in His mouth.

I love 2 Timothy 2:13 which says, “If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” Titus 1:2 says that He cannot lie. As we meditate on His word and contemplate His ways, we are given a template of truth. We know about the Lord through His word. Experiential knowledge ~ His character becomes ingrained in our thought processes.
