Catch and Release
2Corinthians 10:5
...take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
I'm thankful that people can't hear my thoughts! Unchecked, my thought life takes me places I wouldn't want my friends and family to know about. However, just because my thoughts aren't audible doesn't mean my thoughts go undetected.
The LORD knows the thoughts of man... (Psalm 94:11)
God knows our thoughts! He even knows what I'm going to say before I say it (Psalm 139:4). This is VERY sobering to me that even my thoughts are exposed before the Lord.
Granted, we can't control the impulsive thought that explodes on our consciousness, but we can control what happens next. We can learn to take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. As thoughts race across our mind we must recognize or capture them, quickly evaluate them in the light of Christ, and then dismiss every thought that doesn't withstand the scrutiny of our Lord Jesus.
As we begin this week lets practice some catch and release with our thoughts:
Capture ~ Test ~ Release
Thoughtfully,
Lon
