Pondering the Bible - What should my thoughts be like?

An Intro to Pondering the Bible 
We decided to start this new series, ‘Pondering the Bible’ so that we could answer all your questions about the Bible. Each post there is a different question, which we answer. Now, let’s move on!
 ———————————————————————————————————————
Today’s Question: What should my thoughts be like? 
Paul says in Colossians 3:1 to seek things which are above, which basically means to think and focus on heavenly things. “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.”
Colossians 3:1 NKJV

But the main question is, how do I do that? Well, first we need to forget about we. We just need to focus on God. We first need to submit to God, and just fix our hearts on Him. The best way to do this is through His Word, the Bible and through listening to His Word through men of God. This is the best way we can keep our thoughts focused and kept on God. 
Hoped that helped answer your question! If you do have any question, please message them to us or use the hashtag #dbv18questions.

I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart.

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!
