Where have your thoughts taken you?
Your Key to Success: Nailing Down the Basics Part Ten
Your level of motivation is based on the thoughts you have fed your heart with.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:16
Jesus was the ultimate example of motivation. In Hebrews 12 it tells us how Jesus was able to make such a sacrifice and it was what He thought about.
“…for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross…”
Then in the next verse it tells us how we can avoid being weary and faint… and it specifically says “in your minds.”
“For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.”
The key to motivation is in our thoughts. What do we consistently feed our heart? What thoughts continually go through our mind? Do we, as Christians, think thoughts that Christ would think?
In the next few weeks I’ll be sharing what running has taught me about my thought life and how it has shaped who I am today, both good and bad.
Next week will be on analyzing our thoughts. Then I’ll follow it the next week with a key verse God has used in my life to draw me closer to Him. The last two Mondays of this month we’ll go over what true freedom is and talk a little bit about a runner’s battleground.
Note:
If you haven’t noticed yet already, I have been doing shorter blog posts and then going deeper on the podcast, so if you haven’t followed me over there yet, please do! That is where I can more freely share with you what is on my heart.
Next year, the blog (here), will be more based on giving updates of what is going on with Be Still and Run, so if you want to stick to just content based then I would suggest heading over to the podcast portion that way when I do the switch you’ll already be there. Can’t wait to see where the Lord continues to lead!
