LIFE…
It doesn’t always go the way we think it should. It’s common for many to find reason to complain about it. What we often picture our lives are supposed to be matches up with the glamorous visions this world supports and not the reality of what God intends for us to see.
God has so much good to show us….and not only through our eyes but also through our thoughts. Our thoughts were designed to hold His glory much more than to cling onto the lies that entangle us.
In order to see many of those thoughts, it requires for us to place our gaze towards Him and away from the many other things that distract us. Someone is saying right now…easier said than done.
Our thoughts were designed to hold His glory much more than to cling onto the lies that entangle us.
I wish to encourage you that it doesn’t have to be easier said than done. If you are someone who is battling that phrase right now or ever have, I’m asking you to join me ..this very moment…to give God some of your attention.
Think about the things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Fasten our thoughts on His glorious work, praising Him always!
Philippians 4:8 (two translations)
My thoughts go to You right now Lord. I begin to wander on the wonders of ALL you have done. My thoughts are becoming selfless, as I draw closer to You.
Let Your Spirit fall all over my thinking in this moment with You.
No matter where I am in life, nor whatever situation I am in that is confronting me, there is neither obstacle nor circumstance that will take dominion over You. Your shelter and provision are supplying all my needs.
Your thoughts are blending into mine…capturing mine and filling them with amazement and awe.
His glorious work… excellent and worthy of praise…
Excellent and glorious are words that begin to resonate continuously in my mind…replacing words that have no value and really no meaning for me.
Right now God… I give You myself. You are so deserving of my praise!
Join me….
We lift Your name on high. We exalt Your name forever Jesus. We give You high praise for who You are! We declare You are good, worthy and glorious! For the marvelous work You’ve done…are doing…and will continue to do in my life and the lives of others, may our thoughts remain full of such things. For the unlimited blessings You shower upon us…even those we forget to notice… we say thank you.
Hallelujah!
It’s like sitting at a table after a delicious meal and pushing back the chair while saying….that was so good.
Your refreshing Presence does it again Lord.
