When you put information into a computer, it

When you put information into a computer, it stores that information and draws from it.

When you put information into a computer, it stores that information and draws from it. That information becomes part of the computer’s resources. The information that you put into the computer can either be good information or bad. It is based on what is programed into it. This is true for us as well. We can put good information into our minds or bad. Whether the information is bad or good, it effects how we think and do things. Think about it, we reprogram ourselves by the information we take in. Such as: “I am stupid.” “I am dumb.” “I can’t do anything right.” “I am tired.” “I am fat.” “I am ugly.” ‘I hate my life.” “Iife is so unfair.” Instead of thoughts like, “I am happy.” “I enjoy my life.” “I am smart.” “I am helpful.” “I do not give up.” “I am loved.” “I take care of myself.” “I am forgiven.” We become our thoughts and our words. Proverbs 21:23 reads, “Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.” Matthew 12:37 states, “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Psalm 19:14 tells us,“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edge sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Positive thinking renders a positive effect on us. We become our thoughts and our words. Good and positive thoughts lowers stress and improves your overall wellbeing. It even makes you look at life in a healthier manner. The old saying is true, “If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all,” which includes how you think about yourself. It is something to think about. It is something we all need to remember. God Bless. Amen.
