I have a very active imagination. It's usually a good thing, but sometimes I think it's more trouble than its worth. For example, I have this bad habit of setting up false hopes. I think of something that would be wonderful, and start to hope that that thing will happen. I can imagine a good fifteen different ways that it could happen, and how I will react when it does. But then, you know, it doesn't. Because I was hoping in something untrue, rather than hoping in the Lord as I should. Silly me.
So, I've come up with another of my visual-mind-picture cures. When crazy false thoughts pop up, I march them into the throne room of my King, and ask him to drag them down into the dungeon to be executed. And I watch as some big burly knights drag them out by their shirt collars to get beheaded or something equally effective.
Can't say I don't hide a few now and then, but eventually they are all brought before the Throne and taken into captivity. If it won't surrender, it dies.
II Corinthians 10:5
We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ
