You’ve got to admit—anger shows up, and we let him in. Revenge needs a place to stay, so we have him pull up a chair. Pity wants a party, we show him the kitchen.
Don’t we know how to say no? For most of us, thought management is, well, un-thought of. Shouldn’t we be as concerned about managing our thoughts as we are managing anything else?
Jesus stubbornly guarded the gateway of his heart. On one occasion the people determined to make Jesus their king. Most of us would delight in the notion. Not Jesus. When He saw they were about to grab him and make him king, John 6:15 tells us, “Jesus slipped off and went back up the mountain to be by himself.”
Proverbs says, be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life! (Proverbs 4:23). Jesus did, shouldn’t we do the same? Most certainly!
