What Are You Thinking?

MAUD BENNETT NICHOLS

Is there a definite standard for thought? Indeed there is. Just as there is for good social and moral conduct.

Good social conduct may be a cover-up for sin. Good moral conduct may be the result of fear and not necessarily love of good. But a right standard of thought is basic. It is the most important standard of all. For even though one's social and moral conduct are apparently acceptable, if his thought is undisciplined—not consciously based on divine Principle, the one creative Mind, or God—he is open to trouble by being led astray.

Haphazard mental habits are sometimes so deeply entrenched that it may take effort to recognize them. But if we know we must overcome such habits and pray humbly to have them revealed to us, we will be able to spot them and eradicate them.
