Bible Ballistics: BBs #626 The Gift Of Memory???
The memory can be a precious gift of God, and unlike a computer, we don’t have a “delete” button to clear our minds, but we can seek God’s cleansing power to keep our hearts and minds tuned to Him and His truth. And while there are good memories and unpleasant memories, we can train ourselves to think on the things of God rather than the things of the world, so I simply want to share some scriptures which I pray will help you ‘think’ right and dwell on godly things—doable but not easy!
“Search me, O God,
and know my heart:
try me,
and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be
any wicked way in me,
and lead me
in the way everlasting.” Psalm 139:23-24
May we learn to pursue the things that God calls us to, and Paul gives us a great instruction for us.
“Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing
by prayer
and supplication
with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known
unto God.
7 And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts
and minds
through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise,
think on these things.
9 Those things,
which ye have both learned,
and received,
and heard,
and seen
in me,
do:
and the God of peace
shall be with you.” Philippians 4:6-9
I pray that you will spend some time today thinking “on these things”. We face so much wickedness in our world, it takes a mind set on Jesus to keep us on track; but as we pursue God, we will find Him faithful and sufficient!
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended:
but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things
which are before,
14 I press toward the mark
for the prize
of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore,
as many as be perfect,
be thus minded:
and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded,
God shall reveal even this
unto you.” Philippians 3:13-15.
We need to remember that we are in a spiritual battle, and that battle is won in the mind and heart, and we must do our part by learning to think biblically and measure all things by God’s Word. The battle is in our minds.
“For though we walk in the flesh,
we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal,
but mighty through God
to the pulling down
of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations,
and every high thing
that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity
every thought
to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
I pray that you will seek God’s heart today as you face the issues of life.
Amen and Amen!!!
“My son,
attend to
my words;
incline thine ear
unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart
from thine eyes;
keep them
in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those
that find them,
and health
to all their flesh.
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:20-23
