"The thoughts of the righteous are right, But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful." (Proverbs 12:5 NKJV)
It starts in the theatre of the mind. Our thought is the battleground between righteousness and wickedness to wrestle over the control towards our quality of living. If we feed our mind with what's right, it flows to our heart, it germinates. Then, it gives birth to righteous way of life.
We are to filter what gets through our thoughts. We ought not just freely allow everything that the media of the world flood our mind. Its sewage of negative spins of ungodly counsels, are the antithesis of God's living Word. If we expose ourselves to be saturated with media fear-mongering, our life will be governed by terror and constant agitation. We must filter everything we hear and see by the holy and written Word of God. As believers of Jesus Christ, resting in His grace by faith, our being ought to be dominated by peace that transcends our human understanding.
Yes, even in the midst of issues, problems, crisis, turmoil and persecution, peace must reign. We do that by soaking our mind with things heavenly, as Apostle Paul exhorts with these words: "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:8, 9 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!
