I have searched you, and I know you. I know when you sit and when you rise; I perceive your thoughts from afar.
- Psalm 139:1-2
Did you know your thoughts are so precious to the Lord, that He reads each one? For some people, that may be unsettling. However, we have no reason to fret because of this.
We get to take comfort in the fact that there is Someone whom we can never hide from, because it means He will never leave us to despair in loneliness.
God loves and knows you so deeply, He has even memorized when you rise and fall!
If you’ve ever fought with your mind and the thoughts that relentlessly scramble in and out, the Lord understands.
The enemy of our soul, the devil, works tirelessly to influence our thinking and attack our minds. This means we need to stay alert and put on the helmet of salvation daily in order to combat it.
Whenever a distracting or hurting thought comes into your mind, remember who you are and Who you belong to.
You are a child of God, whose salvation has been secured by the cross! No amount of attacks from the enemy can ever change that binding truth.
With Love,
Paper Sunday

My thinking takes me to hurtful areas in my life. I’m asking the holy spirit to be the voice that pulls me back and advises me, I am a child of God, so why do I allow so much fear and hurt take some hold on me!! I know it’s not what God wants. It’s not what I want. So I’m not as strong in my Lord as I thought.
