You are Chosen

Just in case you forgot who you REALLY ARE...

"But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" 1 Peter 2:9

You have been transformed as a child of God and you are who say you are. Don't entertain voices that suggest otherwise. You are valuable to God and you have great purpose. We sometimes get stuck because we are constantly reflecting on our imperfections. If we focus on what we are lacking we will never see how much we have gained.

God sees us as we really are, he is the only one that sees the full picture from the beginning. You are being shaped and molded everyday through his word. The more you allow the word to shape your vision of yourself the more you will be empowered to walk boldly in your identity.

Today, I challenge you to proclaim all that you are in God, not what you think about yourself. It's important to recite confidently who God declare you to be. Speak life over your life and watch things begin to line up for you.

Shift your Thinking

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9

Can you imagine being molded daily by negative thoughts? According to the Huffington Post, the average brain has between 50,000 and 70,000 thoughts a day. Regrettably, the majority (an estimated 60-70 percent) of our thoughts are negative. Why would 60-70% of our thoughts be negative? It could be contributed to many different factors. Life's circumstances, self perception and things that shaped our belief system are three major factors that influence they way we think.

Sometimes, it is difficult to see beyond what we have been taught or what our circumstances tells us. We are often bombarded with thoughts that tells us that our situation is never going to change. As our situation speaks to us, every time we try to think, "this time it's going to work out for me". Our mind assess the argument of our situation and we become compliant because it always seem to win. The negative scenarios are reinforced by our negative thoughts of agreement.

But today, God wants us to break the agreement! Even though we see ourselves not coming out of it, he does. The scripture says that God's thoughts and ways are higher than our own. He made provision in his word for us to lead a healthy and balanced thought life. God does not want us to live in a perpetual pattern of defeated thinking.

We often hear we become what we think. If we are not careful, our thoughts will shape us into fear, doubt, worry and despair. It is obvious, we have a powerful mind. We have to yield our thoughts to God, pick up his word and meditate on it. In doing so, we begin to shift those negative thoughts into positive affirmation of God's faithful promises. Adopting the mind of Christ is solution for a healthy thought life. Ask your Heavenly Father to show you the way of faith.

Don't let your life circumstances, self-perceptions or negative beliefs rule your thoughts. Submit to God and you will find a peace that surpass all understanding.

God will Uplift You

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Psalm 42:11

Sometimes you put out way more than you receive. You become discouraged when others don't give you the same energy, time and devotion. In those moments your heart becomes faint and when you need others the most, they never seem to be around. It's true, encouragers sometimes get silenced by disappointment.

Yet, King David did something that we all can learn from and adopt when we feel let down regardless of the source. He asked himself the question "why are you disquieted within in me?" When we take a deeper look at the reason for our dismay, we realize that our dependency should be in God alone...not even ourselves!

We should always redirect our attention to God so that he can encourage our hearts. God is the one that can lift our countenance. It comes from his word, a song, and the person you never thought would have you on their minds. God knows exactly what we need when we need it the most. In the midst of it all, know that we have the best encourage that cheer us on daily the incomparable Holy Spirit.
