If our thoughts control our words and actions, what controls our thoughts? Are we willing to receive the very thoughts of God into our little lives? Or are we so focused on our own thoughts that there is no room in us for the mind of Christ?
The Book of Galatians tells us that the mind set on the flesh is hostile to the things of the spirit, and the spirit is hostile to the flesh. Here, the "flesh" does not necessarily refer to our physical bodies, but to the world philosophy opposed to the thoughts of God: See that no one takes you captive through the hollow philosophy of this present age.
Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom and health---body, mind, soul (psyche/ emotions), and spirit. But the mind set of the world is death and destruction to us---body, soul, and spirit.
Welcoming into our lives the Spirit of Truth and wholeness, listening attentively to His Wisdom can transform our thoughts to those of life rather than death.

Today I read, "Never trade your integrity for money, fame or power" in a little book of wisdom my boss passed onto me.
