Key Idea:  Our lives are always moving in the ______________ of our ______________ thoughts.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.  Romans 12:2

Today’s application:

• ______________ your mind to think ______________.  

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.  Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.  Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.  Philippians 4:8

How do you train your mind better?  

1. ______________ your ______________.  

2. You must ______________ it, ______________ it and ______________ it.  

Meditation: to engage in mental exercise, to focus one's thoughts.

I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.  Psalm 119: 15

I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.  Psalm 143:5

Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.  Proverbs 18:21
