Our thought life is far more important than anything else, because it is what leads us to the actions. The more we ponder the things of the Lord, His principles and what pleases Him, the more we will act like Him. The more we contemplate evil and unholy thoughts the greater our chances of exchanging the thought for an action.
Matthew 15:19
"For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:"
Philippians 4:6-9
"6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you."
The more we are washed in the Word, the uglier the world looks to us, the more we run to the Savior.
Ecc. 1:18
"For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."
For the believer grief comes when we observe evil all around us, but that never takes away that Spiritual joy we have because we have been taken out of the world and cleansed by God through His "cleansing blood."
1 John 1:7
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
