YEAH NAH: Saying Yes to God & No to the WorldSample

The struggle with our thoughts is one of the biggest battles we face. It is so invisible to those around us, and often we feel like no one knows what’s really on our mind.

But God knows what’s on our mind (Psalm 139). He loves us despite the things we think, and He wants to transform our thought life. Many of us struggle with negative thinking, hopelessness, lust, selfishness, anxiousness, or angry thoughts. But that’s not the way it has to be. We can set apart our thinking for God. We don’t have to be held captive by our thoughts any longer; with Him we can take them captive (2 Cor 10:5). When you fill your mind with the truth of God, with God’s word, with thanksgiving and worship, you begin to renew your mind. “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:8-9
