DO YOU FIND YOURSELF THINKING OFTEN, too often, about things that trouble you?
Things that you don’t want to think about anymore? I do…

I’ve wanted to cast out some thoughts on a certain issue for a long time now. I asked God to give me ideas on how to do this. He did, of course. Sometimes it takes a while to find answers; but when you love your Father God and know He loves you and always gives you hope, truth and answers, you know He will give you a way of escape.

In my situation, the answer came to me when I was not even thinking about this hard issue…

He told me to pick a topic each day, a different one each day, and when the thoughts I don’t want come, immediately go to my chosen topic. Today my topic is babies. You know I post SOB! daily because murdering unborn children is satanically evil: no brainer there! God loves all babies and unlike what Catholics believe (or used to believe) they never go to Hell! What a crock! Babies are priceless, innocent and always a gift of God: period.

Anyway, they are my chosen topic today.

My point is:  you can cast down vain imaginations; thoughts that upset or sadden you! God says so!

Beloved, worry is sin, lack of faith is sin, hopelessness is sin, etc.
God has given us victory in Christ when we believe – we receive.

My thoughts today, when I need to change them, will be on babies: babies of all skin colours, babies with blue eyes, green eyes, hazel eyes, brown eyes. Babies with no hair, dark hair, red hair, blonde hair, brown hair, straight hair, curly hair, wavy hair. Oh! How beautiful babies are! Babies being cuddled, fed, dressed. Babies sleeping and babies laughing! What is more beautiful than a baby? Only God!

So: to Hell with wrong and depressing thoughts!
Amen and amen!

All glory to God!

SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS FOR THIS JOY STORY:

1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

1 Corinthians 2:15-16
The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments,  for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.  The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.  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. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
