Of the Psyche: adventures in the mind…

  • Adversity and affliction

    “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help!…

  • Sin

    Such a short word with so devastating a meaning! Sin contaminates everything it touches and thoroughly ruins our lives, whether we see it or not. It is so endemic to us that we don’t always recognise its practice and effect on our life. We have a conscience to warn us of its presence, but we…

  • High

    Feeling high is the opposite side of the coin to depression. Depression is painful and destructive to joy and feeling happy with life. It steals all the good feelings that accompany this life and leave a dark hole in the mind that swallows up gladness and positivity. It is to be fought and avoided, but…

  • Repentance

    This phenomenon is key to our good mind health. If you are not humbling yourself before your maker every day, you will be out of sorts. Your mind will go to places you should not go and you will have no control over your thoughts. The truth is we need the Lord every day to…

  • The shed blood

    We do not naturally go along with the holy law of God nor acquiesce to His perfect ways. We carp and quibble against the God of eternity and pass our unrighteous judgment on Him as a person and on His ways. We are inclined to lift our psyche against Him and we are hostile to…

  • Victory over sin

    When we suffer either in the mind or the body, we can resort to world orientated thought processes and philosophies. We think that psychology has the answers, and some psychology is good but some is unhelpful. We can turn to false comforts in our time of need and create problems for ourselves. We can easily…

  • Dreaming

    “Now a thing was secretly brought to me. My ear received a whisper of it. In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.” Job 4:12-14 Perhaps you have also experienced night time panic attacks, sometimes known as…

  • Self

    Surely self is the most virulent of enemies. Perhaps you do not agree and believe that we must have confidence and hope in self if we are to survive in this world. The Scripture, and therefore the Lord our God and Maker, sees things quite differently from us and instructs us to worship Him alone.…

  • Emotional response

    There are many in our days who are searching for some kind of emotional experience that will validate their faith. The person and presence of Christ in the life of the Christian does not seem to be enough. We are searching for significance in this world which we are finding out is not available to…

  • The examination of the righteous

    Sometimes God puts our psyche under the spotlight and tests us in our mind and our emotions. It is good to think of what kinds of thoughts we are having and be able to decipher which are helpful and which are not. Our mind can get into negative or too positive ways of thinking, and…
