2Corinthians 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. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete." Have you ever noticed that once you commit your ways to the Lord you don't get away with the same level of disobedience as you used to? Personally I get convicted in my heart of things I never used to think twice about. In addition, it seems I suffer more consequences too. All my disobedience starts with my thoughts. I spend a lot of time myself, during this time I have to make sure the things I think are things pleasing to God. If I let my thoughts go down a negative spiral hopeless kicks in. If hopelessness gets a foothold, sin gets a strong hold! I have found verbalizing thankfulness to God helps me. It helps me remember when I prayed for the things I have now. God didn’t bring us this far to drop us now. Let’s be inspired to take every thought captive and make those thoughts obedient to God. It’s way easier to deal with a single sinful thought than the consequences of a sinful action. Be careful what you think!!
