I Can’t Help It!

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]. Philippians 4:13

As you begin to change the things in your life that are unfruitful and causing you problems, the devil will offer you many excuses to stay the way you are. One of the things you can expect to hear in your head is, I can’t help what I think—the thoughts just come whether I want them or not. I can’t help it! While it is true that thoughts come without being invited, it is not true that you can’t do anything about them.

God’s Word teaches us to cast down, or refute, wrong thoughts (see 2 Corinthians 10:5). That simply means you shouldn’t allow them to stay in your mind. You can get rid of any thought you don’t want by simply deciding to think on something else.

Power Thought: I have strength in Christ to think godly thoughts and refute wrong thoughts.

From the book the book Power Thoughts Devotional by Joyce Meyer.
