Daily Bible Reading: James 4,5
Devotional Thought: James 5:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
I have need the loins of my mind girded this weekend. They say you can know if you are truly a servant by the way you act when people treat you like one. Well, I learned this weekend I have need to “reckon” this fact to be true in my life. My mind has been pre-occupied with some issues with my little brother. It has seemed as my mind has been focused on this instead of Christ and His work that it has opened a door for bombardment of other thoughts.
Tonight as I read this scriptures I am reminded of the great benefit of reading the Bible in the morning. My thoughts have not been in captivity today. This verse reminds me that I must fight lies with truth. I must fight thoughts of defeat with a realization of an already claimed victory.
