The first stream of heart sinfulness is seen in the thoughts. "Out of the heart come evil thoughts..." (Mt.15:19). A. W. Tozer says, "It is doubtful whether any sin is ever committed until it first incubates in the thoughts long enough to stir the feelings and predispose the will toward it favourably." Man's innermost being is the incubator for every sinful action or inaction.
How we need to guard our thoughts from intrusion by evil! Every action or inaction starts with a thought, so being mindful of what thoughts enter the mind is of utmost importance. In a very real sense, we are what we think. And, we do what we think. Bu very careful!
