Are You Speaking Against Yourself? đ˛
Whoever is speaking against you today, know this: God is for you!
Now thatâs a powerful way to start the day! đĽ
It doesnât even have to be other people speaking against us. Unfortunately, weâre pretty good at doing it ourselvesâŚ
We might think, âugh, how am I supposed to get everything done today?â first thing in the morning. Or, âman, Iâm so tired of my jobâ. Or we might take a look in the mirror and think negatively about how we look.
Do you realize that youâre actually feeding your own frustration?
But the Bible says, âYou will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.â (Isaiah 26:3)
This is a complete, all-encompassing peace. Not just for âone little areaâ of your life, but for all of themâeven as you are hoping for a solution to the conflict in your family, or waiting for a health issue to get better.
âYou will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.â (Isaiah 26:3)
God wants us to focus on TODAY, because He has given us an assignment for TODAY.
Donât let the enemy take that away from youâŚ
The enemy wants to make us feel like weâve already lost. Because if he can get us to give up, he has taken out someone through whom Christ could have worked.
And when we feed our frustration, it multiplies very quickly. Iâm sure I donât need to explain that any further, because weâve all been thereâŚ
The harder, and much more important, thing is learning to speak this over every frustration:
âYou will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.â (Isaiah 26:3)
Peace is not the absence of problems, but the presence of trust. â¤ď¸
Peace is when your thoughts no longer control you.
Wouldnât it be wonderful to finally get there?
Ask God for it:
âLord, please give me Your peace. Iâm putting up a stop sign in front of my thoughts. I want to hold firmly to You and trust in You alone.â
Whoever is speaking against you todayâeven if itâs YOU(!)âGod is for you!
You are a miracle!
