THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE MIND
Psalm 51:10
The human mind is a wonderful and fascinating gift from God. It is the leading part of the Soul, followed by the will and the emotion. The brain is the physical organ that houses and enables the mind to operate in the body; it is through a network called the central nervous system that the mind is able to make sense of the world.
God cares about your mind. It is very clear that our thoughts are both visible and important to Him. Psalm 19:14 says, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart (mind) be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer”. That means that God sees what we think in our hearts (minds). Our thought life can either be acceptable or unacceptable to God. In Hebrews 4:13, the Bible teaches us that “all things are naked and open in the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Not only does God see our thoughts, He will hold us accountable for them.
A wise man once said, “Thoughts will come and thoughts will go, but thoughts that are not put into word or action will die—unborn.”
Our minds are like the wide-screen TV in your home. You cannot choose what the broadcasters will play on a given channel at a given time, but you can choose what channels you are going to allow to play in your home. This is why we must take ownership of our minds, and win the battle over the “remote.” This is because whatever you allow to fill your mind will eventually show up in your life. Proverbs 4:23 says “Keep your heart [mind] with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues [experiences and events] of life.” Show me your mind, and I’ll show you your future.
