Being in Control

Good Morning! 2Corinth 10:5  We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make obedient to Christ. You know? With the world the way it is today. The unrest in the Middle East,the price of gas and with the economy the way it is, it is so easy to think negitive and damageing thoughts. It is so easy to concentrate on all the bad stuff and create in our minds alot of depressing things. It is so easy to get an attitude of giving up and wondering is this all worth it. I know cause here lately it seems like the harder I work, the further I get behind. And I just get discouraged. But in 2Tim 1:7 Paul tells us, For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, (or discouragement) but a spirit of power, of love and of self disipline. You see that discouragment is the damageing thoughts I am talking about. I forget that God is on my side, I forget that God has got my back. I forget that God gives me the power to control what goes on up there in that playground called my mind. But it has to be me who takes control. I am the one who has to take every thought captive and make it obidient to Christ. I have to be the one in Gods Word to help me be positive in this negitive world. I have to be the one in control of my thought process and weather it will be Positive or Negitive. And that is what Paul is telling us here,is God gives us that power through his Spirit to Be in Control of how we think today. So today if things are getting you down in your mind, remember you have the power to change it. No matter whats going on in the world, that doesn't have to be what goes on in you head! HABD!
