Obedience To Christ

“…bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”  - 2 Corinthians 2:5

Thank the Lord for the above verse!

First because it tells us we can keep our minds and imaginations safe by the grace of God!

Secondly it warns us of a dangers that the world, the flesh and the devil try and convince us are OK!

Our minds are incredibly powerful.  As people we have the capacity to think, to have initiative, to ponder and question, as well as find answers to our questions.  How we choose to use our mind is something worth our consideration.

The verse above begins with, “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,”

How easily we can allow our imaginations to get away from us.  How easily we can think we know more than the Word of God.  How easily anyone can allow themselves to go down a path of many regrets – regrets for themselves and others.

We must be putting a guard on our thoughts.  We must be protecting against all that can influence us wrongly.  We must be, “bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”.
