Day 46 – Keeping His Word constantly before you will take evil thoughts captive to His Grace.
Todays Reading: Deuteronomy 11 – 13
Deuteronomy 11:18 “You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.”
I wish that I could say the thoughts that pop into my mind are always filled with love and grace, BUT sadly they’re not. However, even when I’m deeply offended and on the verge of anger, my thoughts are taken captive before I say anything because of the Words that have been tucked into my heart over time.
His Word covers my thoughts like a blanket covers your bed while you sleep on a cold night. It wraps up your body and brings it to a warm cozy feeling. It’s still cold outside the blanket, but within the blanket there is peace.
Scripture can fill our minds in that same way, taking away the bad thoughts and giving us the ability to think more clearly. Evil thoughts are very human, but if we constantly keep His Word before us, guarding our hearts and mind, He will take our thoughts captive and set us free with His thoughts instead.
I’m definitely NOT PERFECT, but with His help and His word, I am kept from succumbing to the evil of the world. That is why I constantly study His Word, reading the scriptures everyday, because it is like a sword that can fight off the war.
If you are keeping up with me daily, reading God’s Word, I promise, it will begin to take your thoughts captive too.
