Sometimes we talk ourselves out of God's Word and think we should settle for less. Maybe that's what we see in the examples around us, or maybe that's what we've experienced before. But God has something to say about this.
2 Corinthians 10:5:
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Let's lead those less-than-best thoughts obedient to Christ. Instead of thinking defeat or despair, think God's promises.
God's Word says:
3 John 2:
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
1 Peter 2:24:
Who his own self [Jesus Christ] bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
2 Corinthians 9:8:
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.
Proverbs 3:5,6:
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Philippians 2:13:
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
These are just a few of the great promises of deliverance, prosperity, health and hope in God's Word.
And God is always faithful to do what He has promised. Let's not talk ourselves out of it.
Let's stand on His promises, bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.By walking in His light we can look forward to many miracles in 2013 and every year to come.
