2 CORINTHIANS 10:5
{Inasmuch as we} refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the {true} knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
PROVERBS 4:23
Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.
PHILIPPIANS 4:7
And God’s peace {shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace} which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
This verse tells us that when we keep our thoughts focused on trusting in God, He will give us PERFECT PEACE.
Did you know that we have the ability to keep our thoughts on whatever we decide to think about? No one can make us think something unless we accept that thought. We are in charge of the thoughts we allow ourselves to think. The Bible says we can take our thoughts captive and make them obey. (See 2 Corinthians 10:5).
We should be careful about what we think about! We should never let the devil steal our perfect peace by trying to make us think wrong thoughts. We can use this verse to take wrong thoughts captive by saying, “I have perfect peace because I trust in God!”
When we do, we’ll keep wrong thoughts out and God’s peace in.
