You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. ~ Isaiah 26:3
Steadfast: fixed in direction; firm in purpose; resolute; unwavering (dictionary.com). 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. If we are told to do something, that means we have the power to do it. Through grace, God has given us the power to accomplish the things He calls us to do. That means that we are able to take our thoughts captive, we are able to keep our thoughts fixed on Him, and we are able to tell the devil NO when he tries to bombard us with negativity and things that try to keep us down. What are you fighting today? Who’s speaking negatively into your life? Do you know the best way to defeat those attacks? It’s not to yell at them or tell them to be quiet, but to pray for them; boldly approach the throne of grace where we can receive strength in our times of need, (Hebrews 4:16). Look to the One who keeps you in perfect peace. Keep your thoughts fixed on Him today and always.
I didn't steal this from Pastor Mark's message. Honestly, I wrote it around 2 this afternoon. Guess God's got this on everyone's minds.
