Staying Focused

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.Philippians 4:8 Bible Gateway

Do you have trouble staying focused on good things or do you find yourself going in the gutter of wrong thinking? 

For yours truly it is essential to keep my mind active and occupied on what today’s verse refers to. Don’t worry about a son’s furlough, a 96 year old mother’s hospitalization or a host of other issues Satan likes to throw in my face. Satan gets you where he knows you are weak. 

2 Corinthians 10:5 says “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.” That is a great verse to commit to memory as you literally do have to take captive thoughts and stop imagining things. Just pray and trust God to heal your thinking. 

PRAYER: I want to be a vessel that can be used by you to help other people but it is difficult to do when the enemy has tortured me with wrong thinking that only sends me downhill. Lord Jesus I choose to meditate on scripture and reject conjured up stinking thinking. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
