Thinking Wrong Will Take Our Peace
By Rick L King
June 27, 2011

At times we allow thoughts to enter our mind
That will take us to a place that we should never go
And we find that we lose our peace
As it tosses our minds to and fro

God told us in Philippians
Just on what to think
Yet sometimes it seems so right
And we wonder as to why, we did spiritually sink

God promises to us peace
If on the correct things we will dwell
Things that line up with His word
Instead of the suggestions originated from hell

The battle will always come
Until we learn to recognize
Who sent the thoughts?
Are they from God’s truths or just satan’s lies?

We are told to cast down every imagination and every high thing
That does exalt itself against the knowledge of our God
And bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ
For then we may walk where Jesus trod

We are told to lean not on our own understanding
But we get too intellectual and just have to know
Instead of casting the care on God alone
We are determined that down this road, to go

This road will take our peace
And our joy and our power
All because we are trusting in self
Instead of a Holy Spirit shower

It will always be a battle
But we can surely stand
If we will just think on the right things
And allow only the Holy Spirit to take our hand.
