The human brain is an amazing creation of God. It is always storing up everything we watch and read and see and hear. Even when we don’t think we remember; we do. We may not be able to bring to our mind an exact thing right when we want to but it’s there and at the right time it will come back. Knowing that this is true, how should that influence what we allow to go in? There are a lot of things in life that are out of our control but what we watch on our phones or tv, and what we read or listen to are for sure our responsibility. Knowing that there are good things to put in our minds and likewise evil things, gives us choices to make often throughout the day. There are alot of things that we could allow into our minds that seem innocent enough but at its core may be sinful. We shouldn’t take it lightly. In Romans 16:19 Paul warns us about this. He writes: Everyone has heard about your obedience and rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.
We know that God’s word is good. It is absolutely safe to read or listen to any time. If we put His word into our minds then we not only know what is good but He can bring to our memory things we need to know at just the right times. On the contrary, if we put sinful things into our minds then it’s easier for the sinful things to pop into our heads. It would be better for us not to know anything about such things. Innocent of them. What we put in stays in and has an influence on everything we say and do! In this I have much work to do!! How about you?
Dear Jesus, give us the will and desire to stop putting in the bad things and start putting in the good! Help us to remember the good!
Stay strong in the Lord today!!
Speaking truth in kindness
