You cannot be held accountable for something over which you have no control. In Hebrews 4:13, the Bible teaches us that “all things are naked and open in the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Not only does God see our thoughts, He will hold us accountable for them. Our thought life can either be acceptable or unacceptable to God. That means that God sees what we think in our hearts and minds. Psalm 19:14 says, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart (mind) be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer” (NLT). He is very clear that our thoughts are both visible and important to Him. Therefore, we must make sure we are receiving the right data, avoiding the wrong data, and developing the skills of processing and interpreting that will lead to decisions that are good, God-pleasing, and conducive to living a transformed life. When we have bad data, we will make inaccurate interpretations, and ultimately, wrong decisions. Thinking is a function of interpreting these signals, giving them meaning, and ultimately choosing to act upon them.įor this reason, it is absolutely essential that the “data” we are receiving is accurate, appropriate, and interpreted correctly. The central nervous system is an intricate network of communication that transmits, receives, and interprets billions of chemical and electrical signals, which are continuously flowing between the mind and the physical world around us. While the brain is the physical organ that houses and enables the mind to operate in the body, it is through a network called the central nervous system that the mind is able to make sense of the world. The human mind is a wonderful and fascinating gift from God.
