Hello World!
Have you ever been on your journey with The Lord and everything is finally clicking in your head until suddenly something enters your mind that goes completely against God’s teachings and your journey? Do you get frustrated when it happens? Maybe even a little discouraged? Do you give in to the thoughts and continue down the path it leads you? How do we combat the thoughts that appear in those times?
When we are on these journeys it is very important to work on your focus. When we keep our focus on The Lord we begin to put on the armor of God and these temptations and thoughts become useless. However, the question then becomes “how do you put on the helmet of God?” Well, what has helped me is music. You see, I always have a song running through my head and since I have continued to work on keeping my focus on God I have naturally adapted to constantly having a song of worship playing in my head. This has helped me not only keep my thoughts and focus more centered on The Lord but it has also allowed me to guard against anything that is not God’s truth and promises.
I have a challenge that helped me tremendously. For 40 days only listen to worship music. For 40 days praise God through song every time you want to listen to music. Throughout this time continue to pray and ask God to give you strength and remain close to you so that temptation has no hold over your mind. Once the 40 days are over, you will see how sharp your mind is focused on God when it comes to music. I pray that this challenge strengthens your mind and brings you closer to our Father.
