“If you think like the world thinks, eventually you will act like the world acts. Wrong thoughts produce wrong acts. So control your thoughts by reading the Bible and bringing them into obedience to God’s Word. Program your mind with the Word of God. The Word is spirit and it is life. When your mind is full of God’s Word, you become stronger and you can overcome ungodly thoughts and bad habits….Take control of your thought life. Think about what the Bible says instead of thinking sinful thoughts. Keep your eyes on Jesus – and you’ll find yourself thinking a whole new way! Talk The Truth: ‘I take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. My thoughts match God’s thoughts!’ (2 Corinthians 10:4,5)” ——An excerpt from “Over the Edge youth Devotional” by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland
