There’s a war going on and your mind is where its happening, so let’s take a look at what’s really going on. Every day, there’s a war going on right between your ears. The Bible teaches us that the mind is the primary battleground for the bad things of temptation and sin. Before sin shows up in our actions, it starts in our thoughts. Whatever comes out of our mouth, starts in our mind. Whenever we stray, it starts with a thought. James 1:14–15 (ESV) puts it like this: “But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.” That whole process begins in the mind. A thought becomes a desire, a desire becomes an action, and an action becomes a habit. That’s why we can’t afford to let our thoughts run wild. Daydreaming about bad things can and will corrupt our mind; and, if we don’t win the battle in the mind, we’ll lose it in the body, in the heart, and in the soul.
