Stirring up godly things
2 Peter 3:1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),
Our minds have been made pure by the word of God alone. We have corrupted them over time of living in this world but the LORD has washed us, all of us! They thoughts of sin and ungodliness are heavy & condemning. Yet, the Holy Spirit has a way of washing our minds with the pure water of the Word of God. Jesus' words are forever etched in our memories. I tend to agitate the thoughts of depression and failures by default of my flesh yet my glorious loving Savior wont have it. He reminds me of what needs to truly be reminded of. The facts are simple: Im a wretched sinner and He is a sinless Savior! 2 Cor 10:5 reminds me to take every thought captivity unto the word of God, or measure every thought according to His word. What the Holy Spirit stirs in us is His word. Oh the heights He brings us as we soar in places we have no business being except not for Him. Any fool can remember impure thoughts but it takes a courageous soul to press in to the truths of Gods word and stand up on them.
