It was the middle of the night when the Holy Spirit gave me the subject for this devotional. I wrote this in my notebook ~ Negative dialogue ‘high thing’ 2 Corinthians 10:5 says to cast down every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. 

What are some of those ‘high things’ in our lives?  A negative dialogue is futile. Rolling something over and over in our mind gets us nowhere. Rehearsing things from the past changes nothing. Things that we have no control over don’t get figured out, no matter how much time we spend trying. 

Who needs the fruit of emotional fatigue? We are created to glorify the Lord. Our minds are a marvelous gift. God’s creation of our brain is brilliant. Why would we want to waste the resources He has given us? 

The next time you start to go into mental gymnastics ~ stop! Make your next thought one of gratitude according to the knowledge of God.
