Today our scripture focus is 1 Corinthians 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 it obedient to Christ.”

This is an area of my walk with Christ that needs some serious work!  I love my Bible and I enjoy reading His word, but I don’t always have the knowledge of where to go in the Bible when I am looking for something to comfort and/or guide me (I still have to look at the index to find most of the Chapters, LOL).

I also find it strangely perfect that each week Elisa seems to be speaking directly to me!  How is it that she knows the things that are on my heart?  The only answer is that God is using her as an instrument for my closer walk with Him!!  As most of us can probably relate, I am my own worst enemy - meaning I use words about myself to myself that do NOT portray the Lord’s feelings for me and my life.  I seem to spend to much time “in the moment” and not enough time in the thoughts before the moment.

A scripture that I have found to be one that most drives me and sustains me when my thoughts are not where they should be is this one:

“I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phil. 4:13

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you today with an aching heart and a mind that desires first and foremost Your thoughts!  I pray today and each day that You would enter my mind and set it soley on Your sights which will transform my life to one lived for you!  In Your’s son’s name, Christ Jesus, I pray now and forever.  Amen.
