If you don’t think your thoughts and intentions matter, think again, they matter to God. If they didn’t, why would He search them out? What we allow into our mind eventually comes out in some form or fashion in our behavior. Let in evil, evil comes out. Let in good, good comes out. Let in good and evil, and you get a deceptive mess that you’ll spend a lifetime trying to figure out. How about taking Paul’s advice (God’s words), be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Rom 12:2). You can overcome, but it takes a collaborative effort, with God doing the thought replacing, and us allowing God to do it. When a negative thought enters your mind, immediately replace it with a godly thought. If that doesn’t work, ask God to replace the thought for you. Our thought life matters to God. It should matter to you too.
Then all the churches will know that I am the One who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person. And I will give to each of you whatever you deserve.
