You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. – Isaiah 26:3
If and when you and I could tame both our minds and our tongues we would almost be perfect people. But alas that is a pretty tall order but it can be worked on and achieved with discipline and lots of it.
Stinking thinking is a term I heard years ago from Joyce Meyer and when your mind tends to ‘go south’, sorry Southern friends, then you have to snap out of it and realize the enemy loves to try to capture your thoughts on the wrong things. For instance If you constantly feed your mind on news media who obviously hate our sitting President for no good reason, then your mind will be come tainted with untruths. The enemy has worked overtime on this one and some of you no doubt have family members you are trying to pull from the pit of lies and hate by constantly praying.
Never give up on anyone. It is necessary for each of us to be careful what we take into our minds. Let’s say you go to the movie theater and the only choices are slasher films, horror movies, and other R rated delicacies perhaps you should go home instead and read a book. Ask God to lead you to the truth. Ask Him to keep your words gracious and your thoughts loving and pure. Now go have a jolly good day.
PRAYER: Father I thank you for the gift of speech, thinking, and all the rest you have made for humans to e able to communicate and get along in this world. These gifts are miracles. Help me to be a good steward of my mind and my words. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
