[The Glory Unveiled]
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; [ 2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV ]
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and consolidation of sediments, which consist of particles of minerals, organic matter, and other materials. In any sequence of undisturbed sediments, the youngest rocks are found at the top while the oldest are at the bottom because they are deposited in horizontal layers. However, in the collapse of sedimentary rocks, those closest to the surface are most susceptible to breaking and erosion. This vulnerability is due to factors such as less consolidation, surface effects, and human activities. When we apply this concept to the believer’s mind, we can see that there are numerous layers of thoughts as our feelings and emotions accumulate or layer upon the established thought of God. These newer layers of thoughts and emotions often try to elevate themselves above the present revelation of God within us. The apostle Paul teaches us to bring such thoughts that exalt themselves above the foundational thoughts of God into obedience to Christ. Just as the upper layers of rocks are displaced due to surface effects and less consolidation, thoughts that do not align with God’s will for our lives should not be allowed to remain within us because they lack the strength to withstand the pressures of this world and its systems. We push them down by bringing them into obedience to Christ. We bring every thought and imagination into obedience to Christ by subjecting them to align with God’s word rather than our desires, feelings, or emotions. Such desires and emotions collapse in the face of the word of God, losing their power over us. Let us enforce the law of superposition over such thoughts, displacing them with the word of God and positioning His word above them. Let us prioritize the word of God, and every baseless thought will lose its authority.
Prayer_Bead: Lord Jesus, thank you for the power of your word over every circumstance of my life, even over my thoughts. Let every baseless thought be brought into obedience to your will.
Wisdom_Quote: Prioritizing the word of God over every thought brings every thought into obedience.
