DAILY DEVOTIONAL TODAY - January 7, 2023 || Our Daily Bread [Daily Devotion] | MamClaireTV

Devotional Message:
(II Corinthians 10:5)
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

When it comes to the many struggles in life, the real battle is often in the mind. James writes, “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?” That is why Paul tells us to demolish those thoughts that stand against what God wants for us. We are in a spiritual battle and need to take every stray thought captive and repent; correct it the way God would have us correct it. If I hate someone, I need to capture the hateful thoughts, realize that they are wrong, ask forgiveness and choose to stop. Instead Paul says to win the battle for our mind we need to discipline our thinking so it focuses on thoughts that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable and excellent. Anger, bitterness, hate, jealous, fear, anxiety are joy robbers. They suck the life right out of us. Greed, selfishness, pride, and other thoughts that are worldly keep us from living for God. The good news is that God has not left you powerless. You have a choice. Take responsibility for your thought life. Today, capture and stop any that thoughts that distract you from living for God

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, so much goes on in my head. Help me today, dear Jesus, to bring every thought captive and realign them to where they are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable and excellent. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
