Amazing, I thought as I embraced my pillow waiting to drift into sleep, how quickly news spreads.  All it takes is a camera a news anchor and a script to spread the news worldwide. Most of the time it’s a report of chaos. It would be easy to influence the world to believe lies. Ok, I’m going to be quite blunt here. Why is it we fill our minds with junk instead of filling it with the word of God? Why do we believe the news before we believe the promises of God?

Something is happening though more people are refusing to turn on their TVs.  They are tired of being lied to and they are waking up This is not one of those, throw your TV in the trash messages. This is a reality self-checkup with the word of God. I’m talking to myself as well.

Most of our anxiety is caused by believing lies. Satan is a reporter too. God uses ministering angels. The Bible tells us … “the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” (John 14:17 KJV) The world can’t see the truth because they have no acquaintance with the One who is all Truth! For us that is in Him, we tend to fall asleep. We grow weary in well-doing; our bodies get worn down and there are life challenges. Our guard comes down.

I’ve been praying for a sound mind. We have to meditate on His Word.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV

A sound mind is clarity, balance, wisdom, and self-control, godly thinking. “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;” (1 Peter 1:13 KJV)

Let’s stay in the word of God and pray always. Filters thoughts with His word.
