My thoughts and My words...


           
An average spider takes about one hour to construct a small web; the web can be destroyed in less than a second.

[James 3:5] “Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself on fire by hell.

Good works are a lot easier to destroy than they are to build. We have all heard of the famous quote:
"Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words.
Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions.
Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits.
Be careful of your habits, for your habits
 become your character.
Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny."

[Proverbs 23:7] “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...”
            “…Then Peter got down out of the boat walked on water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”  [Matthew 14:29-30]
            It is inevitable that when we take our eyes off Jesus, we stop thinking about Him and we set out to fail.  

            All that we do is generated from a thought. It is vital that we take more caution to our thoughts and our words; we are shaped through them.  Refuse to see anything  in your life that does not concern God they are mere distractions: focus your life on the most High.

           “He who guards his lips guards his life but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin” [Proverbs 13:3]  “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.”[Philippians 4:8]
“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” [Ephesians 4:29]

[Isaiah 64:8] “Yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.”  Let the entirety of you be moulded by Him, think and speak as you ought to.
