More thoughts on thoughts

Ps 45:1 <> My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. (KJV)
Inditing = bubbling up, or boil over

I once looked up the word conscience and found a defintion to be; "the totality of ones thoughts and feelings". Everything we do or say starts with a thought or a series of thoughts. Even the things we don't do are a result of our thoughts. It has been said that a stronghold is a series of thoughts that hold us in bondage.

2Co 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; (KJV)

The word "imaginations" could translated arguments or reasonings. When these arguments or reasonings are contrary to the thoughts and purposes of God and they persist they become strongholds that need to be pulled down. It is as we meditate upon the Word of God that these imgainations are destroyed. Considering the thoughts of God on any and every matter brings us to His way which is the higher and better way. The Word of God is Truth and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and will only lead us into Truth. Thinking the Truth leads to knowing the Truth and knowing the Truth leads to doing the Truth and that leads to freedom and success.

Isa 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (KJV)

Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection (your heart, your thoughts)on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (KJV)
