Where Does Your Worst Enemy Live?
Our worst enemy is nearer than we might think, for it is closer than your breath.
You know those negative thoughts, those imaginary battles we all face. You and I know all about those conversations that we have with ourselves about the never-gonna-happen events and circumstances in life, and yet, we persist in continuing these conversations.
We fight a constant battle in this arena, and we constantly have to be on our guard. Sometimes, these arguments and scenarios feel good, and we feel self-righteous and victorious with the arguments we create in our minds. And we probably win a lot of these made-up battles that no-one ever sees.
And the enemy still exists.
I’m reminded of a Bible verse I learned a long time ago.
“Take Every Thought Captive.”
To me, it means:
~Stop the fight. Be aware of what is happening and bow out of that fight.
~Redirect and place your thoughts onto truth, what is or what should be.
~If the issue is real and needs addressing, take the appropriate measures and have the hard conversations.
These are such easy words to write, and yet I fight this same enemy from time to time.
I’m in this battle with you.
