"Be Your Own Gatekeeper"

2nd Chronicles 23.1, 19 NKJV

 “In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and made a covenant with the captains of hundreds:  And he set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the Lord, so that no one who was in any way unclean should enter.”

I need to “set the gatekeepers at the gates” of my mind so nothing “unclean should enter” this coming day. It know it will be a struggle. It always is. I must prepare to battle pessimism, resentment, fear, self-pity, entitlement, selfishness, prejudice, and impurity.

I am confident Jesus will help me resist the entrance of these thoughts past the eye and ear gates of my mind.
