The
Fruit Of Their Thoughts
"Behold,
I will certainly bring calamity on this people, the fruit
of their thoughts, because they have not heeded My words nor
My law, but rejected it. (1)
"Let
the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts.
Let him return to the Lord and He will have mercy on him;
and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. (2)
"The
Lord knows the thoughts of man." (3) "For I know
their works and their thoughts. It shall be that I will gather
all nations and tongues, and they shall come and see My glory."
(4)
"Those
things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart,
and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,
murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness,
blasphemes. These are the things which defile a man."
(5)
We are
what we think, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is
he." (6)
"Be
anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication,
with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will
guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
"Finally,
brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble,
whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever
things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if
there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy,
meditate on these things." (7)
