Change has been a big word in our society, in these last few months.  It seems like something always needs changing, and it seems like things always are changing, but the problem is, usually what changes is not what we would prefer to change.

Simply knowing something will not bring about change.  There has to be a motivation that leads to action.  God is powerful to change us, but most often He does not simply “zap” us in order to make the change.  Most often, He works through our will.

The Bible tells us that as we think in our heart, that’s the way we are; however, there is a process that takes place between our thoughts and actions.   Our thoughts form our beliefs, our beliefs manifest themselves in our words, and our words will soon become actions, then from our actions, we reap results.  So, that being true, the surest way to bring about needed change in our life is to find ways to change our thinking.  What we see and hear is a major stimulus to what we think; therefore, we need to purposefully see and hear those things that will send us off in the right direction.

In Job 31:1, Job said, “I made a covenant with my eyes…”  That’s exactly what we need to do.
