Bringing Every Thought into Captivity

2 Corinthians 10:5 says,
"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing
that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."

This verse has definitely captured my attention recently .... why? Because my thoughts wander like crazy and so does my imagination. They go everywhere, anywhere, wherever they like. Sometimes I scare myself, sometimes I come up with foolish ideas, sometimes the Devil attacks me with wicked thoughts ... but why?
Because I do not bring my thoughts into captivity. I do not fill my mind with Jesus' Word and push out all of the evil in my mind.
And yet I wonder why I am so confused at times! A mind that is not brought into captivity, a mind that is wide open and undisciplined ... is a fair playground for the Devil. And that's the truth.
