The mind is a battlefield. The liar and master deceiver loves to keep us focused on anything that is negative… those things that fill us with doubt, stress, fear and worry.
But the Bible tells us to think on things that are GOOD… to cast down EVERY thought that is contrary to God’s Word… to keep our minds stayed on God.
Meditating on the Promises of God and always being mindful of the presence of God equips us to quickly recognize the lies and to be able to resist the garbage that the devil tries to fill our minds with.
Summing it all up, friends, l’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious – the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.
Philippians 4:8
