TAKING EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE
Some days all we can do
is take every thought captive
and tighten the reins of control
over our minds.
We have to think about
what we are thinking about
and not allow any unwanted thoughts
that could cause us harm
and weaken our faith
to spend any time maturing
in our minds.
Just say no
just do it
no fear
All those sayings
have become mainstays
but how truly awesome
they are
if you just say no
just do it
and allow no fear
to reside in the temple
of you
Jesus can work miracles
for you
Today it is like I am weeding
a garden
the more I pull out
the unwanted thoughts
the more room there is
for all those thoughts
of all those things
I want to see, to be
to do, and to have
to take root in my life.
So I will weed
and I will water
and I will till
the fertile ground
until that
glorious moment
when the whole thing
just turns around.
