THINK GOOD OF YOURSELF
MAIN TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:23—And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude].
Proverbs 17:22 “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
Instead of focusing on what’s wrong with you, start focusing on what’s right with you. You may have weaknesses, you’ve made mistakes—we all have—but there’s a lot more right with you than there is wrong. Dwelling on the negative doesn’t help you to do better. Beating yourself up for past mistakes doesn’t move you forward. Making good progress should be the plan every new day.
The way that, we think, can either be beneficial on our walk with Christ, or it can become an extreme hindrance. Not only will it hinder how we live our lives, but it will also alter our view of God. Why should we condemn ourselves when God hasn’t? There could be people who rejoice at your failures, but there are those people who are waiting for your rising, remember.
Remember that we control the environment of our surroundings with our words. And out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Encourage yourself, the brightness of your future will surely expel the darkness of your past. Keep rising and moving forward.
ENCOURAGE YOURSELF DAILY
PRAYER: I receive the mind of God towards my goals. I am blessed, I’m healed and the hand of God is upon me in Jesus’ name, Amen. I’m the expression of God’s signs and wonders.
