Just a few thoughts.
I was at Church a couple of weeks ago when the guy who was talking gave what i guess you could call a modern day parable. He began talking about land which in countries such as Kenya if left unoccupied will inevitably soon be home to squatters. If you don’t want your land to occupied by squatters then don’t leave it unoccupied. He then compared this to us. If we don’t fill ourselves with God and leave it unoccupied then inevitably the devil will occupy that space. It sounds very simple and obvious but i think in reality we often do this. Sin is when we allow ourselves to think or do things which are not of God.
Philippians 4:8 (The Message)
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.
