When My Mind Wanders
26.10.12
You know how it goes, one day -almost without noticing- you entertain one thought, one worry, one doubt, one fear, one question, one... and then two days later, and then three days later, and the next week, and the week after that you have a wandering mind, with no limits whatsoever, your spirit is troubled, and of course, you feel heavy burdened.
What to do now?
Go back to the Word of God.
Go back to the Scriptures and mediate on them day and night. Memorize God's Word, pray it, recite it, mutter it. The Word of God will dissipate all doubts, all fears, it will strengthen your heart. It will help you fight those vain thoughts.
James Smith said,
"We must mix faith with the Word; seek to hold fellowship with God through every portion; and realize the presence of the Holy Spirit, who alone can render the Word profitable"
How true this is! Let us come, to the Word. Let us abide in it, let us persevere with all diligence to keep it in our heart and mind.
Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." How do we come to Him? We come to Him in prayer and we find Him in the Word. It is there where we hear Him speak to our need, to our troubled soul.
Is your heart troubled and your mind wandering today?
Go back to the Word of God.
Under His sun and by His grace,
