Our minds can be swayed - they never stop taking in information and forming conclusions. God knows this.
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8
You are the one who has the power to control your thoughts and you CAN control them. Sometimes it’s difficult, especially under stress or if you’re out of practice, but you can choose to think a certain way. Those who have the hardest time with this suffer from mental illnesses, medication is helpful but the Holy Spirit will lead your thoughts towards God if you seek Him.
But if you fill you mind with trouble, hate, resentment, fear, anxiety, and division - your mind will believe that the world is all these things and it will disarm and weaken your faith and your will. That’s how the devil breaks us down... Jesus is THE way, THE truth and THE life, there is no other way to God and to peace. None.
The children’s song is true for us today, too -
Be careful little eyes what you see...
Be careful little ears what you hear...
Be careful little tongue what you say...
Be careful little hands what you do...
Be careful little feet where you go...
