But Is It True?

Did you know that it’s easier to focus on negative memories than positive ones? And funnily enough, research shows that we often misremember the past. Our recall of the bad things that happened to us often contains details that did not occur. 

Sounds like someone is messing with our minds🤔

Today, remember that we’re stronger together. Don’t let the enemy of our souls divide us with negative thoughts and emotions. We are not unaware of his schemes. He knows that Jesus prayed that we would all be one (John 17:20-21). 

Is a relationship toxic? Then of course you should ask the Lord to free you from that! I’m talking about the day-to-day bad thoughts we rehearse in our minds about situations and people. Paul said we should be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). He also told us what we should be concentrating on (whatever is true…).

Father, today use Your Holy Spirit to show us how to change our minds. Let us see things for what they are, not for what our faulty memories and twisted perceptions tell us. Let us walk in the mind of Christ going forward. In Jesus’ Matchless Name, amen.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”

Philippians 4:8 NKJV
