Held Captive // 2 Corinthians 10:5

Are you held captive by other’s opinions or your own off-centered thoughts about God? From the things that tickle our temptation center to insecurities over what others might think, we all fall victim to allowing the wrong thoughts to invade and hold us captive. So, what are we to do? Today’s verse says to hold those erroneous invading thoughts captive like how a soldier holds a prisoner of war captive on the battlefield. Whether it was spears and sword in antiquity or at the barrel of a gun today, we can take our thoughts captive and surrender them to Jesus. After all, He is the One who gives us the power and ability to change the way we think, and therefore change the way we live!
