If we could see the hyper-traffic of our perpetually wandering minds, we would be embarrassed as to the velocity with which it strays from God's thoughts as well as His laws, but we must remember that all our thoughts are continually exposed to Almighty God, even in this very second. It behooves us, with the help of His Holy Spirit, to assert control over our fluid thoughts, bringing them into control of Jesus Christ. Throughout the Bible, we see heart and mind are overlapping concepts, representing the entirety of our mind, intellect, and emotions, attitudes and ultimately all our behavior. We are admonished in Proverbs 4:23 to keep our heart with all vigilance, for from it spring the issues of life, guiding and directing everything we do. Psalm 139 assures us that God tests us continually to see what is in our hearts. The New Covenant consists of a heart transplant operation, in which God transplants His laws into our hearts and minds, writing them permanently onto our minds, the location where all sin and righteousness begins. Romans 12:2 warns us not to be conformed to the world but to allow Almighty God to renew our minds. Proving what is good and acceptable to the perfect will of God. We dare not allow evil and righteous thoughts to co-exist in our mind. If we use God's Word (the discerner of all thoughts), examining them against the fruit of the Holy Spirit, we should attain self-control over our thoughts. Though we cannot always control our circumstances, we can control our reaction to them and can switch them to over the sun orientation.
