Trusting and Taking Captive July 18, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — sonshinejr @ 2:50 pm

I have learned through the past few weeks that you have to keep your mind on Jesus or the thoughts will consume you. So I tell myself: Do not let the what-if’s and the scary thoughts take control of your mind. Hold fast to God’s word and choose to believe “the report of the Lord.”

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says:  “The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strong holds. 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.”

Also this past week a wise person told me that “Either you choose to believe that God is in control of every situation of your life or you believe that he is in control of nothing.” Well I choose to believe that Jesus Christ is in control of every single situation in my life; from the everyday little things to the huge things like my husband’s tumor! If we believe God can do some things and not others, what are we saying? We need to trust him in absolutely everything.
