Static

Our minds are wonderful organs that operate our lives and bodies without the slightest effort.  We make decisions all day without very much effort. These thoughts range from moving our fingers this way or that to ways to distribute hundreds, thousands, or even millions of dollars.  This is all done using our ‘thought process.”  No matter what we are doing, our minds churn out thoughts all day and during our waking hours all night.  Some of those thoughts are valid, and some are just “static.”  Old memories of bad moments of our lives, embarrassing moments, foolish decisions, good moments, and sometimes things that have not, and never will, happen.  Those thoughts are what Richard Carlson, Ph.D.,  in his book “You Can Be Happy No Matter What,” calls “static.” 

You can change your mood, feelings, and attitude by recognizing when your thoughts are just unnecessary “static” and return to the present moment.  Change the low, dark thought to a happier one, and your day will change to a brighter, happier one. So, enjoy your day today, dismiss any static thoughts, and trust God’s plan for your life.

The weapons we use are not human ones. Our weapons have power from God and can destroy the enemy’s strong places. We destroy people’s arguments, and we tear down every proud idea that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We also capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ. 2^nd Corinthians 10:4-5
