Captivating My Thoughts

One of my new years resolutions kind of snuck up on me. There has been a variety of ways God communicated my need to captivate my thoughts. It began as just something I heard as a sermon, then something I read in my devotions, and finally with a few opportunities that arose to put my learning into practice.

Sin never sleeps. Sin is looking for someone to devour. It is obvious in our world that sin is hungry and won't stop consuming those who let it. Yet, we must learn to take off our wallpaper in our minds of lies that we find ourselves enslaved in and learn how to wallpaper new walls of truth. This is war for our souls. The war has begun, and I have seen plenty of opportunities in my own life. Yet, we know he has won the war already. We know we have hope in Christ who will always protect and love us.

I have been encouraged through opportunities that have presented themselves to captivate my thoughts of lies and replace them with truth. I'm trying to figure out a productive way to do this well but those are where my thoughts are heading for this year.
