“A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash.” Proverbs 15:14 NLT
If you’re like millions of other Americans today, you’ve probably already made a resolution to get fit in the new year. And while that goal may seem daunting, might I say that it’s easier than you may think? In fact, as every runner knows, one small change can make all the difference between success and failure... changing what you listen to. I mean you don’t think all those athletes out there who have earbuds in are listening to negative trash talk do you? Of course not! Like me, they’re finding their strength and resolve to press on in motivating music, uplifting words and positive messages - because the simple truth is, what you put in is what you put out.
And you know, the writer of Proverbs 15:14 completely understood the power of thought when he wrote,”A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash.” You see, while you and I might think that watching television shows or listening to music that shows or says things contrary to God’s word are harmless, what you and I allow to get into our minds affects everyone of us, either negatively or positively, without exception. So how can knowledge help us be the best we can be in 2020? That’s simple. Everything you and I need to know about eating right, exercise, work and rest are located in the pages of the Bible. We need only fill our minds with this ‘good stuff’ to begin seeing positive changes both in our appearance and in our attitude.
So rather than making a resolution to diet or start an exercise program, why not make a resolution to begin each day in the Word? I promise you won’t regret it because it will transform every area of your life for the better.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the timely reminder that the images and words we fill our minds with will determine whether we fail or succeed in our Christian walk. Help us to truly grasp this that we might make seeking knowledge of the Truth and a stronger relationship with You our number one priority in the coming year and all the years to come. It’s in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!!
