Your mind is the greatest gift, next to the gift of salvation & eternal life, that God has given you. And it should be devoted entirely to Him. But how many times does your mind wander aimlessly…and suddenly you’re thinking of ungodly & taboo things you shouldn’t. Or maybe your mind stubbornly refuses to give up its own selfish desires & plans rather than trust God? II Corinthians 10:5 tells us to, “Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Only ourselves can choose to take captive every thought, keeping them within the bounds & control of Godly thinking…and only ourselves can bring our mind’s thought pattern under the unquestioning compliance & obedience that Jesus demands.
