Many years ago while going through a tough time, when fear continually raised its ugly head, the LORD gave me the scripture “casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Cor 10:5. Daily when fear would arise and my thoughts would spiral I would repeat this scripture over and over in my head until I had stopped spiraling downwards. Sometimes I had to repeat this scripture every. single. hour!
Four of these words are so interesting to me – the knowledge of God! What is your knowledge of God? Well, we know that He is kind, so so good, faithful to the ends of the age, and that He loves us with an everlasting love, one we cannot even comprehend the depths of. We know His plans for us are good and not for evil and that our LORD turns everything to the good for those who love Him! We know that He is our Abba Father! That’s the knowledge of God right there! When we meditate on these things then all those anxious thoughts will come into captivity!
