Sometimes my thoughts can be like clouds, when I'd rather them be like sunbeams.
I've encountered many helpful ideas to remind me what to do about the cloudy thoughts, but recently something new jumped out at me from Proverbs.
"Commit thy woks unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established." Proverbs 16:3.
I love how this is part promise and part test question. On the one hand, it's a relief to know that God cares about and promises to establish my thoughts. It's a battle I can't and don't have to fight alone.
On the other hand, my job is to make sure I'm fully committed to Jesus. Have I taken back the reigns of my heart? Am I trying to do things my way, or make my plans without seeking Him first? As soon as I can surrender all the things that trouble and cloud my mind, and commit everything I do to the Lord afresh, I can rest assured that He will bring sunbeam thoughts to my mind to dispel the cloudy ones.
