“We are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ”
~ 2 Corinthians 10:5b New American Standard Bible
Almost a year ago, I wrote about the Biblical instruction to think truth for peace.
Recently, putting that into practice requires that — almost every day — I remind myself that speculations, theories and opinions about what might happen are NOT truth.
When gloomy predictions in the news threaten to ignite another round of anxiety, it helps for me to refocus my thoughts back to What Is (today, right now) instead of What If (the future, the theoretical). I often start by noticing how God has blessed me that day. Sunshine and blue skies. A little bird landed in my window. The store had the cereal I wanted.
Soon, I have a growing list of reminders of the good ways God is working.
And I’m comforted as I trust that, when tomorrow becomes today, I can count on Him to provide what I need then, too.
“We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ”
~ 2 Corinthians 10:5 New American Standard Bible
