For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
A person can become imprisoned by one's own mind when thoughts are focused on the wrong things. Proverbs 23:7 teaches us that, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." Sir Walter Scott once wrote, "Give me my imagination and I can be happy in a prison." John Bunyan was imprisoned primarily to stop him from preaching the gospel, but his tireless soul refused to be enchained when penned Pilgrim’s Progress. The Apostle Paul, while imprisoned in Rome could not go and preach to the churches, so he wrote the epistles that have carried the message of Christ to all generations since their delivery. God has given us His mind to think, and His mind is the very same mind that created the heavens and earth, as well as everything seen and unseen. Remove the thoughts in your mind that are telling you what you can't do in life and what you can't become. Rather than be enslaved by those thoughts, be mindful to place your thoughts onto how powerful you can be and what your life can become.
