Being Watchful~Part Three

There will never be a situation where we cannot trust Him. Our watching in prayer aligns our hearts with the truth of His word. Prayer is a posture of trust. Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.”

Our heart is our belief center. We are instructed to fill it with God’s word so we won’t sin. Psalm 119:11. Memorized Scripture lays a foundational reservoir to draw from. When we are tempted, the Holy Spirit will recall that word to stop us in our tracks.

Do you listen to your thoughts? When a thought of doubt comes into your mind, beware because it is a fiery dart. Doubt is a seed that the enemy hopes to plant in our hearts. Yet we are equipped with a mighty weapon – the shield of faith. Ephesians 6:16 declares the truth, “…with which you will be able to quench ALL the fiery darts of the wicked one.” 

It is up to us to not allow that seed-thought to penetrate. Don’t dialogue with the thought because that allows it to penetrate.
