"...take every thought captive to obey Christ." - 2nd Corinthians 10:5

So often this is where the battle for the soul takes place, in my thought life. There is an intensity about Paul's diligent and intentional devotion toward Christ. Everything in Paul's life was an intentional step toward the will of God. Every thought, every action, and every impulse in Jesus' life was taken captive for the will of God. He did nothing out of thoughtless action. His life was so intertwined in the heart of God that Jesus could do nothing apart from God.
