The minute I realized it, it was a life changer…

Happy Monday! I hope that your weekend was fantastic. This week I am talking about something that I learned the hard way. The minute I realized it, it was a life-changer.

The mind is a tricky thing. Our actions are a direct response to how we think. For example, Proverbs 23:7 states, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” If we think negatively, we will have a negative life. If we purposely think positively, we will have a positive life. The minute I realized this, it changed my life.

Friends, it isn’t always easy to think positively. The Devil is a liar and he tells us things about ourselves, people, and circumstances that are not true. As soon as we wake up the Devil fills our minds with suspicions, doubts, fears, wonderings, and reasonings.

“For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood, but against despotisms, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly” Ephesians 6:12.

If we dwell on these thoughts, we become weak, and if we aren’t careful we lose our hope which is right where the Devil wants us. “HOPELESS”

Being positive in a negative situation shows that we trust God to bring about good. In Romans 4:18-20, Abraham didn’t ignore the bad but he trusted God and had hope in faith.

Hope is the force that keeps us steady. Hebrews 6:19 tells us, “we have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor…” Just reading this verse gives me hope. Friends, this is life-changing news!

No matter what you are facing today, don’t give up! Place your hope and faith in God!
