This week in the bible study (week 4 of Because of Jesus), we are learning about renewing our mind. None of this is new to me - I've been a Christian since I was 12-I've even done this bible study before. So, why am I not always living a victorious life - AHA Moment - I don't always renew my mind.
This made me think about terrorists and the Department of Homeland Security. They are constantly on guard. They announce the threat levels - Severe, High, Elevated, Guarded, Low. What if we took this approach with Satan? We know he is out there to lie to us. Sometimes when we believe those lies we get ourselves into a pit and it becomes difficult to climb out. What if we never got in the pit? What if we remained on guard constantly? What if when the devil says your marriage will fail (lie) or you're not good enough (lie) or you are a horrible mother (lie) - what if we took the thought (lie) captive immediately and replaced it with His Word (TRUTH). The devil wouldn't stand a chance. So, let's stay on high alert and be prepared for an attack. Not be fearful BUT stand strong on the Truth and Renew your mind daily and know you can win the battle - remember your father is a King.
