You can make your thoughts obedient to Christ!

"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.” (2 Cor. 10:5 NIV)

Thoughts are like birds

Someone has said, “Birds may fly over your head, but you don’t have to let them build nests in your hair.” The same can be said about your thoughts! They may fly past you, but you don’t have to give them your attention.

You can control your thoughts 

You can choose what you allow yourself to think about. You can “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” And you should!

Choose to think about excellent things

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (Phil. 4:8 NLT)

Let the Spirit control your mind

“So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.” (Rom. 8:6 NLT)

Because you are what you think about

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. (Prov. 23:7 NKJV)
