Victorious thought life

There is a battle for our minds.

Sinful thoughts are like birds flying overhead.  We cannot stop birds from flying overhead, but it is our fault if we let them nest in our hair (Martin Luther said something like that).

The Lord wants His people to be PROACTIVE in their thought lives. 

Here are a few verses to meditate upon. 

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:8 (KJV)
