“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You , because he trusts in You” Isaiah 26:3, NKJV.
“But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper” Psalm 1:2-3, NKJV.
From the moment we wake up in the morning, all kinds of thoughts come to our minds, but just like boundaries set for a task that we must do at a particular time, set boundaries in our thought life.
Say not right now, you’re not thinking about bills or upcoming tasks ahead. You’re not thinking about Facebook or checking your phone. You’re not meditating on how the challenge you face will work out. No, right now, at this very moment, I set a boundary to think on the word of God and how I can apply it in my life. At this particular moment, I will not set my mind on anything or anyone else. Everything else can wait. Putting God’s word on your mind and in your heart has priority, and that’s what you diligently decide to think on. Meditate on day and night. Talk to God about and ponder on. Ask God to speak and reveal His truth that will change your life.
All battles of worry and anxiety set next to the word of God will bow. A mind on the Lord promises to bring you perfect peace. Like having no holes in your pocket, there are no holes in God’s peace. It passes our understanding. So, when you wake up in the morning, set your thought boundaries and say I will first open God’s word and think on it. The Lord will then speak and give you direction about everything else before you. The devil wants to keep the believer too busy for God. The devil will solicit what to think on because he knows as a man thinks, so is he, and whoever has your thoughts has your life.
My brother, be vigilant and set thought boundaries today.
Prayer. Father, thank You for speaking to me about my thought life. Right now, I begin to set thought boundaries. I will begin my day with a set boundary and think on Your word. I take every thought from the enemy captive to the obedience of Christ. I praise You in advance for prosperity, clarity, and direction as I keep my mind on You and Your word. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
