Dear Balanced Life Family,
What are you thinking? There are so many thoughts that come to your mind. It’s up to you to decide which thoughts you will allow to linger and which ones need to flee. Do you realize that your entire body is governed by your mind?
Your mind is full of thoughts that tell you what to do, how to act, what to wear, who to like or dislike, where to go, what to say, what to believe, what to ignore and so on. Some thoughts are godly and some are ungodly.
God is pleased when godly thoughts occupy your mind. He tells us in his word “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of a good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8
A godly mind leads to a peaceful lifestyle. The enemy (the devil) hates for you to have peace, and is pleased with an ungodly mind. He wants you to have a mind that tells you: Hate those that hate you. God doesn’t care what you do. Nobody’s perfect. You should get even. It’s your body, do what you want with it. Yep! That’s the language he uses. If the devil can get your mind he can control your life, and if he controls your life you’ll never have peace.
Ask God to direct your thoughts. Be mindful of what you allow your eyes to view and your ears to listen to. Get good teaching from the Word of God. Study your bible. Improve your prayer life. Commune with God as you go about your daily task. Be quick to forgive. “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:” Philippians 2:5-11 Need I say more? This is how you GUARD YOUR MIND!
