Our thoughts are
often the battleground between us and God. Fear and worry take hold. Anger
rises up. Guilt comes back to haunt us. The Bible promises us that God has the
answers to our inner well-being. Scripture can override each negative pattern
in our own minds. Our souls can be prosperous and successful as we listen.
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips.
Meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything
written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8
Each time your mind
moves away from God’s promises, take that thought captive!
We demolish arguments and every pretension that
sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought
to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10;5
I don’t know about
you, but fear and worry creep easily back into my mind. Last week one of my
best friends and I each had a day and night of anxiety and worry. Talking about
it later, she reminded me that faith should be enough. I agree! If only we
remembered that we are all in God’s hands and it IS possible to have victory
over those thoughts pouring through our minds.
As we move through
this life together, let’s keep reminding each other, lift one another up when
we need it, offer Scripture when appropriate and memorize the verses that rise
up against the enemies in our own minds.
Lord,
Your eternal love will keep our souls at peace. Bring us back to You again and again as we
let our worldly emotions get the best of us. You are always there waiting to
capture and destroy those negative thoughts.
In Jesus name,
Amen
