Did not the Lord reveal it that it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks? What are you filling my mind with? Violence, soft porn common in movies, distractive and mind-polluting music?

Oh, how love I Your law! It is my meditation all the day. You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies, for [Your words] are ever before me. I have better understanding and deeper insight than all my teachers, because Your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the aged, because I keep Your precepts [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them]. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your word [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it]. I have not turned aside from Your ordinances, for You Yourself have taught me. How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore, I hate every false way. Psalm 119:97-104 AMPC

King David with all the duties of state understood that constantly filling his mind with the word of God, tirelessly pondering upon the word; and keeping the word kept him from going astray to say or do evil.

Even with your busyness, there must be downtimes. How do you use downtimes? The opportunities offered by such times to grow spiritually and mentally should not be thrown on the altar of relaxation. What exercise does for the body, meditation does for the soul. It is what you are thinking that defines who you are and not what you think you are!

If you desire a life set apart, you must start thinking different thoughts, thinking the word of God as laid out in the examples of David in Psalm 119:97-104, and as the Lord Jesus Christ expressed in John 5:19. Think on this please. Shalom.
