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
There is a melody that’s says “I’m in a New York state of mind.” Your state of mind is rather important and what you fill your mind with even more so. Garbage in, garbage out the saying goes.
Allowing violent video games, lewd movies and TV, inappropriate reading material can all lead to a depraved mind. The mind and heart go hand in hand and if you want a joyful heart your mind needs a good diet and a good portion of that should be Jesus. How many well meaning Christians are spiritually starving themselves. If talk shows, the newspaper, secular TV take up most of your day what do you suppose your mind is going to be like?
Now is the time to step back and take inventory of what you allow to enter your mind. Parents you are responsible to do the same for your children. Put God’s word into the hearts of those little ones even when they are lying in a crib. If you don’t fill their mind someone else will. Be careful to watch over your own as well.

PRAYER: My mind is a powerful tool and I need to treat it with respect. Help me fill it with truth and your word and learn to recognize the lies of the enemy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
