If your mind is filled with the Word of God, then it can’t be filled with impure thoughts.
From Proverbs 30:5: “Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.”
David Jeremiah (born 1941) is an American pastor and Christian author.
From 1 Timothy 3:16-17: “Without any doubt, the mystery of godliness is great: He was revealed in flesh, vindicated in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up in glory.”

If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly.
From 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

Faith’s treasured bouquet
Running short of petals
Once filled with brilliant colors
Now fading away
Another day stirs
One more petal succumbs
Little color to witness
Darkness closes in
Mercy knocks at door
Savior shares timely grace
Fullest, colorful petals
Light rises again
Daily bouquet breathes
Everlasting goodness
Heavenly peace descending
Hope singing with joy
From Numbers 6:24-26: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.”
