Fix Your Thoughts on Jesus When you are tempted, do whatever is necessary to turn your attention to something else. Satan cant get your attention when your mind is preoccupied with something else. Thats why the Bible teaches us to fix our thoughts on Jesus (Hebrews 3:1) and to fill our minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable. (Philippians 4:8 TEV) When were serious about defeating temptation, we will manage our thoughts and monitor our media intake. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived warned: Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. (Proverbs 4:23 TEV) Dont allow thoughts to run indiscriminately in your mind. Be selective. Choose carefully what you think about. Follow Pauls model: We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5 NCV) This takes a lifetime of practice, but with the help of the Holy Spirit you can discipline the way you think.
