Discipline the Mind

Here’s the goal:

2 Corinthians 10:5b (NIRV)
I keep every thought under control
in order to make it obey Christ.

This is how I picture it–

My mind is a harbor, and thoughts sail in and out. I choose to let the good thoughts drop anchor and stay. The distracting, deceptive and sinful thoughts aren’t welcome. When I notice my thoughts are not obedient to Christ, I cut the anchor and watch them sail away.

Day 5 – Let’s pray:

Lord God, I’ve let some wrong thoughts get comfortable. Grant me the discipline to send them sailing into the eternal sunset.
