Capture Thoughts

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

What you choose to think about is pretty important. Thinking about things comes as a result of where your mind ‘camps out’ at. Is it ‘camped’ at suggestive movies or television programs? Is it ‘camped’ on the past and mistakes you have made? Is it ‘camped’ trying to figure stuff out? 

You get the point. It is essential to make your mind dwell on good things and you do this by putting good things into it. Think good things and do it on purpose. If you are constantly putting things into your brain/mind that drag you down then obviously your thoughts are not focused on ‘above’.

Intentionally decide that you will start your day with scripture. Today is 8 December so read both Psalm 8 and Proverbs 8 to get your started. Make time to sincerely have a prayer time. This may take finding a quiet uninterrupted place. For some with little ones at home that may be difficult. Whatever it takes make sure capturing wrong thoughts becomes a priority. 

PRAYER: Every day when I get up I can choose what to think or not think. It is up to me. I choose to think on things above and resist the devil’s attempts to get me to dwell in a pit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
