       Number eleven: Contemplating on daily hypothetical situations. “But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge” (Psalms 71:14,15, ESV). I think all of us, to some degree, have trouble with besetting thoughts that come to mind about possible hypothetical situations that could occur in our lives. Satan will present us with possible outcomes to situations, and these are outcomes which are negative or even worst-case-scenario. When we believe his lies, like I talked about earlier, it can hinder our progress and make us paralyzed with fear of doing anything. And when we think about a situation for too long, and think about it too much, lies are presented to us and we get confused. The truth becomes intermixed with lies, and we often then can’t see the forest for the trees. But we are not to contemplate these lies that Satan sets before us. We are to destroy these thoughts, and embrace faith in our varying situations in life. We make each thought obedient to God’s truth.
