Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
ARE YOU SEEKING?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.
“Have to sow excellent seeds to have an excellent life. Must start with sowing excellent thoughts.” ― John C. Maxwell
Are you sowing excellent thoughts this morning?
Or are you stuck in a rut of negativity? Are you awake and receptive to GOD’s perspective for you and this day or is your past and an attitude of doom and gloom at the helm?
Now, I am not naïve.
Tough homes, tough relationships, the consequence of bad influences and poor decisions serve to shape our perceptions and our attitudes and I realize for some the “I can do its” and "I could do that’s” have been squashed under the weight of “I cant’s” and “never will’s”.
But you have the power to change that!
Pitch that pessimism today and begin believing some TRUTH!
Like in CHRIST, “YOU CAN!”
You CAN recover! You CAN experience blessing in life! You CAN have healthy and happy relationships! That doors will open, opportunities will surface and favor can and will be yours! How do I know?
THE BIBLE TELLS ME so!
Philippians 4:13
Amplified Bible (AMP)
13I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who [a]infuses inner strength into me; I am [b]self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
Steer clear of the lies of the enemy today, even if you have been hamstrung by them for years. Turn a deaf ear today. Pay them no attention; leave them at the side of the road. Cease to let them have influence in your mind and spirit today! They and him are not worth your time or energy.
John 8:44
New Living Translation (NLT)
…He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Let go of lies like: “I need to be more like someone else,” “I don’t have anything to offer,” “I am who others say I am”, “This compulsion has got me”, “I am a victim of circumstances”, “GOD can’t love me.”
Don’t believe a word of it!
Instead fill up your mind with truth today..."excellent thoughts"!
Thoughts like…
Romans 8:1 (NLT)
1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 1:23 (NLV)
23 You have been given a new birth. It was from a seed that cannot die. This new life is from the Word of God which lives forever.
Romans 8:16-17
New King James Version (NKJV)
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs-heirs of GOD and joint heirs with Christ...
My friend you are fearfully and wonderfully made!
Believe it, act like it, speak it and live it!
If you woke up this morning numb from negativity, don’t stay there!
God Himself has the ultimate say about who you are: and He says that you’re unconditionally loved and incredibly valuable.
1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
“When you are down to nothing, God is up to something. It is up to you to reach out to find what God is up to for you.” ― Robert Schuler
Now that is an “excellent thought.”
I love you all
Have a excellent day.
