Refuse Trashy Thoughts
Refuse Trashy Thoughts
“As he thinks in his heart, so he is.” Proverbs 23:7 NKJV To listen to our vocabulary you’d think we are the victims of our thoughts. “Don’t talk to me,” we say. “I’m in a bad mood.” As if a mood were a place to which we were assigned (“I can’t call you. I’m in Bosnia.”) rather than an emotion we permit. Or we say, “Don’t mess with her. She has a bad disposition.” Is a disposition something we “have”? Like a cold or the flu? Are we the victims of the emotional bacteria of the season? Or do we have a choice? Paul says we do: “We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ” (2 Cor. 10:5). Do you hear some battlefield jargon in that passage—“capture every thought,” “make it give up” and “obey Christ”? You get the impression that we are the soldiers and the thoughts are the enemies. Our assignment is to protect the boat and refuse entrance to trashy thoughts. The minute they appear…we go into action. “This heart belongs to God,” we declare, “and you aren’t getting on board.” 1 of 365 devotionals in Grace for the Moment, Volume 2 Originally printed in A Love Worth Giving
