Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3 KJV Bible Gateway
You probably don’t hear the word ‘stayed’ much as this is King James Version but I use it because it is a good action verb that presents an excellent word picture. When something is ‘stayed’ it is ‘set it ‘steadfast’ a fixation of sorts.
How many times do you find yourself getting on a tangent of stinking thinking? You say you aren’t going to, make the New Year resolution and alas there go your thoughts right in the garbage pit of wasted brain cells. The enemy loves it when Christians end up getting their mind off Christ because soon you are dwelling on things and speculating on stuff that may or may not happen and are tripped up.
To try to combat this tendency which can be easy to do especially during Covid when your mind is not occupied in as much and can tend to drift, get up daily and start your day with the word. Cast off wrong thinking immediately and tell Satan you have the mind of Christ and then ask the Holy Spirit to indwell your thinking. Practice daily and soon your mind could be on the road to recovery.
PRAYER: Thanks for another day to think good things. I refuse to allow my mind to dwell on scenarios and what if’s but choose to be at peace and trust you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
