The ability to discipline our thought life is one of the most important pieces of having victory over sin. It is like stopping a run-a-way! I remember a place where I was employeed when I was working my way through college. Some of the men would have pornography and show is around the work place. It was somewhat unavoidable, if they knew you didn't want to look, they took fun in surprising you with it. Frankly the circumstances caused me to think about the pornographic images and the extra curriculur activities that come along with the images. I had to learn to discipline my thought life! I literally wrote out the Philippian 4:8 passage and carried it in my pocket (that was in the devo today)... to retrieve and read through it to help discipline my thought life. I still use the same tactic because it works! Read Romans 12:1-2... if we can transorm our minds with God's Truth, it will transform the way we live our life daily.
Still stopping the run-a-way mind!
God bless you,
PJ

My mind is my own worst enemy. Most temptation comes through my thoughts. These are fed by my past choices and actions. I can see clearly how the path I have taken over the years has opened up opportunities for Satan to tempt me. God is being faithful in helping me redeem the years, but it is up to me to make the choice to spend time in His Word and in communication with Him to fill my mind with fresh thoughts. I cannot change my past, but I can change my future by filling my mind with God's Word and by worshiping Him in everything I do.
