Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus.  Phil 2:5 KJV

And the peace of God….will guard your hearts and your minds.   Phil 4:7

I don’t like to be around negative people. I find they bring me down more often than I get them to become positive. It seems there are some people that just can’t be happy unless they are bringing other people down.  I find I must protect my mind from these attacks by keeping focused on God’s Word. To keep from wallowing in the negative that surrounds me I must put on my Armor of God and prepare for battle.

First I must know His Word, to bring back to my mind when doubt and fear prevails. Next I must surround myself with His Word, turn off the country music and rock songs to hear praise music (hey, todays praise music has a lot of country and rock sound, just more uplifting words).  I have the shoes of peace to help me move away from a person or problem to allow God’s peace to reign. God’s shield of righteousness must be held over my heart in order to protect it; it cannot ward off the arrows of attack if I leave laying by the wayside.

Put on your armor, stand firm, and take comfort in God’s peace. As Jesus promised in John 14:27 “my peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you”.  He has given us this peace, will you take it?
