Captive thoughts

Tonight I'm blogging mostly to do just what I set out to do and take my thoughts captive.
To protect myself from flighty thoughts and dangerous assumptions.
I'm telling myself the truth.
Jesus is better. He is more than enough. He is for me. He goes before me and He promises to never leave or forsake me even to the ends of the earth. He treasures and cherishes me as an inheritance from His Father. I am His and He is mine.
He is sovereign. He raises people up, He brings times and seasons and can tear kingdoms, people, strongholds down. He is everything I need for right now. He is my joy and new mercy for tomorrow. He is my hope for the future. Because of Him, I am secure. I am justified. I can stand in the presence of God, or weep at His feet, with an unconcerned surety that He's saving my tears even.
I've said it before and I am sure ill repeat it.
Today was hard, but He is, in fact, better.
