It Is Our Choice

Daily our minds are bombarded with ideas. Some of these ideas are immediately discarded and esteemed as not worthy of our time in thought. However there are some ideas that come to our minds which we ponder for days. When we meditate on a thought, we are inadvertently making the decision to give life to the idea or thought. Many of us have made new year's resolutions and have pondered many thoughts. It is the responsibility of each one of us to choose which of our ideas is worth giving life unto. As attractive and comforting as some thoughts are, they are not always for our good. Some of the most appealing things to our eyes, hearts and minds are also the most destructive to our souls and the greatest deterrence in us accomplishing our set goals. It is our choice what we do with our ideas. We must come to the realization that things which are unappealing have great difficulty in luring us away from our purpose in life. So what must you and I do with the appealing ideas or thoughts that crowd our minds? We must discern every thought and be careful of what we meditate on because we cannot afford to give life to the wrong idea - 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (mental warfare). It is our choice whether we are going to bite the wrong bait and plummet or bite the right bait and excel. Both baits (ideas) are appealing and presents itself as being for our good. Some of the most uncomfortable thoughts bring to our lives the most rewarding results. We must be very careful of what we choose because our choice, whether physical or mental will determine if you and I will plummet from or thrust toward our goals. We all have appealing ideas, we just need to realize that as good as they appear to be, some of our ideas are destructive. It is our choice what we do with our ideas. We must make sure that the result of our decisions is taking us upward and toward and not downward and away from your set goals in life.
