Topic: Your Thought Pattern [1/3/2016]
Text: Proverds 23:7
Our thought pattern, that is, the way we visualize things in our minds, is very crucial to us. It shapes our very being. No wonder scriptures advice us to guide our hearts with all diligences, for out of it flows our perception about life (Proverbs 4:23).
The way we perceive life is very crucial to the way we deal with life issues. If we have a negative perception, we will always react to life negatively. In Numbers 13 Moses sent twelve spies to spy on the land of Canaan. They all saw the same thing, but ten had a negative perception of what they saw but the remaining two had a positive perception. And this was chiefly because of their thought pattern.
You could see their thought reflected in the report they brought. Ten of them saw the beautiful land, but they also saw that the people were strong and cannot be defeated. But Caleb and Joshua stilled the people and assured them that they people in the land can be defeated (Number 13:26-13). At the end, Caleb and Joshua possessed the promise land, but the remaining ten spies where killed just like they said they will be.
Your thought pattern is very crucial, watch it and make sure it leads you into victory daily.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for the power of my mind, for it helps shapes my life’s perception. I trust You to help me channel my mind to productive thinking that are aligned with Your thoughts for me, in Jesus name. Amen.
