What Dictates Your Thinking

"Truth Inside" To think what you think without influence of environment or appearances is to think the truth within your mind. Our mind often falls prey to the external influence of untruths while the internal truths fight for attention. To think and process internal truth regardless of the environment and appearances takes a tremendous amount of personal labor, and also requires the expenditure of more heart, mind, and physical energy than any other task you'll ever tackle. Most, often forget the mind can save you from being physically drained or worn out. This saying can be true, if we want it to be: "let the brain control work, not work control the brain." As I read and study the life of Christ, it's more vivid today than ever before, the mind of Christ was absolutely in control of every thought, word, and action. Are we learning anything as we read and study Gods Word? Have we allowed the external to overtake the truth inside? To be Christ-like is to learn and repeat His life, what are we thinking? Are we reading and learning about Christ? Have we become so dependent on appearances and environment, that we can't think the truth in our mind? If you're thinking is dictated by the external and appearances, how will you ever find or know the truth? "So prepare your minds for service and have self-control. All your hope should be for the gift of grace that will be yours when Jesus Christ is shown to you. (‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬ NCV)" "“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who has been able to teach him?” But we have the mind of Christ. (‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬ NCV)" True or False?
