Science shows that our thoughts, laid down as neurons on the brain, are interlinked. Meaning, one thought can trigger another thought. And because of this, when we let our guard down in one area of our lives, it tends to spread to other areas of our lives as well. This is why we must keep our guard up as to protect ourselves from spiraling downward, one small, seemingly insignificant decision at a time.
I find it interesting that King David singled out 4,000 Levites to be gatekeepers at the Temple (1 Chron. 23:5). The Jerusalem Temple not only was a place of worship, but it was also the storehouse of Israel’s riches. Thus, these guys regulated who was and wasn’t allowed into the Temple, as well as protected Israel’s treasury!
Kind of gives meaning to Colossians 1:27, “To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Just as tremendous wealth was stored in the Temple, we too have tremendous wealth stored in us – Jesus Himself.
You have all resources you’ll ever need to become more like Jesus with each and every decision. Let this victorious thought trigger other victorious thoughts. Keep walking by the Spirit to protect your riches!
