Blessed day to you in Jesus.๐ค๐
This verse is sรณ true! We must guard our thoughts. That which we think, which comes from the heart, determines our lives, because in our hearts sins originate. As is written in Matthew 15:19, "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies."
All those things determine our whole lives.
I have first hand experience of that. Things we should never have done, but in our selishness we never think of the consequences or about others.
No wonder the word says in Pilippians 4:8,
"...whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things."
So let us not think on evil, wicked things, let us not contemplate in our hearts to do unholy things. Do not consider suicide. Do not entertain that thought! Think on lovely, holy, pure, good things.
Do not toy with the idea to satisfy the lust of the flesh by having an affair. It will be revealed and your thought determined the course of your life, you might divorce, then you feel guilty and commit suicide, your children are left broken and have issues their whole lives, a chain reaction, a domino effect, the consequence of your one wicked thought, it determined your whole life.
GUARD YOUR HEART, YOUR THOUGHTS.
