Satan’s strategy is simple: poison your thinking with stinking doubts, deceit, and discouragement. If he can master your mind, he will master your life. The more minds he can control, the more portions of society he can influence. Tell him to get lost.

Do with your thoughts what I do with emails.  Until a couple of years ago, I didn’t know I could block emails. Consequently, I couldn’t clean out my inbox. Then I was told about the ‘Block This Sender’ command. I spent the better part of an afternoon erecting Do Not Enter signs to turn away nuisances. It took time, but I emptied my inbox of unneeded and unsolicited emails.

You can do the same! You can “take every thought captive and make it obey Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5 GNT).
