Vital Necessity

Today I learned that right thinking is a vital necessity.  A vital necessity is something that is so important that on simply cannot live without it.  Proverbs 23:7 states, "For as he thinks within himself, so he is".  I cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.  Matthew 12:33 says, "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit".  Thoughts bear fruit.  If I spend all my time thinking bad thoughts, then my life will bear bad fruit.  However, if I spend my time thinking good thoughts, my life will bear good fruit.  I need to train myself to think and meditate on God's word which is one of the weapons to fight this battle. I need to pray for God's help in training myself because I cannot do it by determination alone.  I need God's help.
