Three big ideas are critical for taming our thoughts:
- Practice Picky Thinking (thought prevention). Just because you have a thought doesn’t mean you need to think it.
- Identify UFOs (thought progression). An untruth leads to a false narrative that creates an overreaction.
- Uproot and Replant (thought extraction). Rather than let the untruth grow, give the lie a tug and replace it with God’s truth.
These are the tools in your thought management toolbox. Until we put these ideas to work, they are simply that— ideas. I trace issues to one cause: stinking thinking. You will see that the tools in your toolbox will work on anything Satan throws at you.
