The devil is constantly trying to take control of our minds. Our minds must be protected because they are the headquarters of our brains. The serpent tricked Eve in the Garden of Eden by targeting her mind.
As God’s children, we must learn to govern our minds and protect them against Satan’s traps. In order to keep our minds away from the world until death, we must sacrifice our desires before the Lord and embrace his teachings.
We shall be able to enter God’s kingdom that God has created for every one of us if we nourish our thoughts with God’s word.
Let us prepare ourselves with God’s word, which is provided here so that we can stand firm during temptations.
Isaiah 26:3(KJV) “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
Psalm 1:1-4(KJV) “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.”
