The importance of good thinking (2) - All The Word for Today Daily Devotionals for 2026

‘Keep this Book…always on your lips; meditate on it…Then you will be…successful.’ Joshua 1:8 NIV

If you want to change your life, you must change how you think and what you think about. Wrong thinking leads to wrong choices. But when your mind is filled with the right things, it sets your life on a better course.

(1) Changing your thinking isn’t easy. It doesn’t happen automatically. You won’t stumble across a good idea by accident—you have to search for it. If you want to improve the way you think, you need to be intentional. Like anything worth having, better thinking takes practice and effort. The more you fill your mind with wise, godly thoughts, the more naturally those thoughts will flow. Good thinking builds on itself.

(2) Changing your thinking calls for commitment.

Albert Einstein once said, “Thinking is hard work; that’s why so few do it.” He was right. Surface-level thoughts are easy. Deep, honest, truth-filled thinking takes time and focus. And if you don’t choose to think for yourself, the media, culture, and people around you will do the thinking for you. You have to decide who gets to shape your mind.

(3) Changing your thinking brings great rewards. When you align your thoughts with God’s truth, your whole life begins to shift. You start to see things through a new lens. Unlike gold or shares or property, which can lose value overnight, a mind shaped by God is a treasure that never runs dry. It’s solid, dependable, and always growing. So stay committed. Feed your mind with truth. The results are worth it.
