Scriptures: Isaiah 55:8-9, Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 23:7
Isaiah 55:8; For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Amen. Have you ever taken a decision which seemed right when you took it but turned out to be a total failure in the long run? Are you going through a situation extremely or seemingly difficult without a solution at hand? I have news for you, GOD's way of doing things isn't the same as our ways!!!
At times when we go through terrible things such as disappointments, the devil takes this opportunity to try putting thoughts contrary to the Word of GOD into our minds and hearts. When we go through situations such as failures we sometimes undermine our existence and allow the devil grow bitterness in our hearts against people who may be haven't even done anything to us. But when this happens, we quickly have to remind ourselves that even before our mums and daddy's met, GOD knew us and had predestined our greatness in Christ Jesus. We instead also have to fill our hearts and minds with GOD's Word. What the Word of GOD says of us is what GOD has thought and planned for us. Jeremiah 29:11; For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Amen. Can anyone who calls himself a father plan failure for his children? No I seriously doubt, so will our Heavenly Father plan your failure? Will He give us sickness? So why do we go round with all these thoughts in our hearts? Remember what the Bible says in Proverbs 23:7; For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...Amen, what we think we are in our hearts, so we are. If you think that you are sick, you will remain sick but know that this idea isn't what GOD has thought about us otherwise He wouldn't have let His Son come to die for us. Please permit me to say that even in our failures and disappointments, there is always a victory being prepared!! Don't lose hope and let bitterness take over. For GOD is in control and His banner over us is Love.
We can't go on each day dwelling on our disappointments and failures; we have to overcome them by the help of the Holy Spirit. Like the famous saying goes, when we are down to nothing, GOD is definitely up to something!!! Dear one, I want us to go forth each day filling our hearts and minds with the plans and thoughts of GOD so that we have the seed the Holy Spirit can help grow to be fruitful in our daily lives. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
