The VOTD (verse-of-the-day for the new reader) was from 1 Peter chapter 1:
1 Peter 1:13 So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.
Very timely indeed as I continue my voyage of recovery. My devotional was on this topic as well (Your Thought Life). Walter Henrichsen has become one of my favorite devotional authors. The battle for your mind is something that very few Christians are ever conscious of. Yet our place in the Kingdom as well as our level of effectiveness is directly tied to this. Over and over the Scriptures remind us to guard our hearts and minds from the enemy. Certainly and addict understands that "practicing" starts in the mind long before the addict takes any action at all.
By controlling and renewing our thoughts we can not only take charge of our lives but we can also make serious inroads against the enemies' plans for our destruction. What you choose to think about determines who you really are.
blessings on your day
