When God says...
"Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad." (Proverbs 12:25 NKJV)He reminds us that negative thoughts - real or unreal, are harmful to physical and spiritual health. Too much thinking of unpleasant matters and things known or not, imagined to come, trigger doubt. Then, it snowballs to fear and panic. Constant panic gives birth to what the world calls a ‘clinical depression’ illness. It all starts in the mind. That's where the battle is fought.
The attention of the mind is Satan's primary strategic target. He maneuvers to hit our mind with barrages of negative infomercials, by apps and downloads through our ears and eyes, wherever we go. He has tools all around us if we are not careful of our daily rounds in life. He knows, the moment he gets in our mind, he has access to our heart. If the seed of his negative inputs are sown, it germinates in the heart. Then it gives birth to anxiety. He got you!
We have to be careful with our exposure positioning. Ensure to screen the doorways of our mind and to guard our heart. As it is written, "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flows the springs of life. (Proverbs 4:23 ESV)
As children of God by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, Apostle Paul exhorts all of us, who have a personal relationship with Him - to soak in things that are good, with these words- "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. (Philippians 4:8 NASB)
And I say, AMEN!
