What we think about will impact us. What we focus on, what we allow into our minds, can stay and corrupt our thinking. This is why God tells us that it is critical what we allow into our minds, and that we must “take captive every thought to the obedience of Christ” (II Corinthians 10:5). In this way we increase the things of the Spirit and decrease the things of the flesh. What thoughts do you need to take captive today? Try it and notice how your faith life will grow and your purity of mind will increase.
