Bible Verses about 'Thoughts'
- “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord. - As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways

test me and know my anxious thoughts.

and lead me in the way everlasting. - You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.

you perceive my thoughts from afar. - For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

and the unrighteous their thoughts.

All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
- Commit to the Lord whatever you do,

for everything you do flows from it. - Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

those whose minds are steadfast,
