Your Mind Is A Gate

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he… (Proverbs 23:7).

The Hebrew word “shawar” for “thinketh” in our theme scripture translated to English means “to act as a gate keeper.”

This therefore implies that the mind is a gate. If your mind is a gate, you must take responsibility to what you let into it. What you let into it defines what you will eventually become. In fact, you’re what you think- what you let into your mind!

Understand that there’s alot in this world that’s competing to have your notice and attention; whether it’s true or false, right or wrong. However, some folks have no regard to what they allow into their minds; to them, everything that can be read and watched and listened to is consumable.

Many have had their faith abandoned and weakened because of the false information they listened to. What a wastefull way to live!

But you child of God can be different. Guard your mind with all diligence. Make the neccessary adjustments to what you let into your mind; you’re not a dumping ground for every manner of information. Be deliberate about your choice of information.

As you develop your prayer life, become a responsible GATE KEEPER. Have your mind fixed and stayed on God (Isaiah 26:3). This is the way to living in the peace of God. Hallelujah!
