Good Morning Girls Devotional on 2 Corinthians 10:1-5

 Today's reading is from 2 Corinthians 10:1-5.

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

S: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

O: What this passage is telling us is not give in to worldly desires and wants. We need to keep our eyes on God and what He wants of us. We are to forsake all our own earthly dreams to pursue the ones He has planned for us.

A: How we can apply this to our own lives? Ask God what He wants for you. It's hard to give up our own dreams and desires, but it is that sacrifice is what keeps us in obedience to God.

P: Father, I pray to you for guidance. To show me the way that You want me to travel and to guide me along that path. Help me to close out all worldly desires and wants of the flesh so that I may stay true to You and Your desires for me. Amen.
