Safeguard Your Mind

If we rely on just our thought,
the thinking process won't be kind.
For mental keenness in our life,
we love Jehovah with whole mind.

And help, we must, our fellow man,
when mind is blinded by a veil.
Reasoning from the scriptures,
showing proof. It will never fail.

With this knowledge we then have,
how do we show our gratitude?
Amongst ourselves it's paramount,
to have a Christlike attitude.

Reading we know, is not enough.
Meditation is essential.
As we ponder, become absorbed,
advancement reaches full potential.

Let us allow Jehovah God,
to mold our minds, our every thought.
With things serious, righteous, chaste,
the pleasing things that God has taught.

This we do within the family,
husbands, wives and children too.
We can not know the mind of God,
but the mind of Christ we can pursue.

What sort of person ought you to be?
If ready for Jehovah's day?
Keep it close, so close in mind,
it really is the only way.

So let's brace up our minds,
to combat negativity.
Prepared to endure trials,
we pursue theocratic activity.

If we apply what we have learned,
and give it continued review.
We please the God of true Peace
and he will always be with you.
