Devotion

Break Out of That Grave!
(2 Corinthians 10:5/NIV) 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.

Your mind is a powerful and vulnerable component of your intellect. It’s important that you guard and filter the thoughts you entertain. Pure thoughts and wrong thoughts make the difference between a healthy or a dangerous thought life and spirit life. Thoughts that are productive and good-willed manifest a bright and fruitful life. Contrasting thoughts manifest darkness and lies that – if you are not careful – will surely bury you alive. When you find yourself drifting to a place of doubt, hopelessness, and other feelings that create a spirit of gloom – don’t stay there, and don’t believe it! Break out of that grave! Take captive those dead thoughts and replace them with the Living Word of God. You’re closer to the Heavens than you’ll ever be to the depth of a grave as long as you believe what God says He will do in your life over anything that would have you to think otherwise! God has called you to life – not death. The life He has for you does not require you to wear grave clothes. Break out!
