Thought for the day

"God-thinking requires less focus on where you've been - what you've done - what you have or haven't accomplished - what you've lost - or what could have been - And more focus on where you are today - where you are going - what you are going to do with what you have - what you can accomplish and who you can be.

God-thinking demands a higher call to the way that you dispose the day. God-thinking teaches us to think:

• Thoughts of success
• Thoughts of giving to others
• Thoughts of getting understanding and wisdom from God
• Thoughts that plan ahead and carefully use the moments at hand
• Thoughts that foresee great things
• Thoughts that reach beyond your present circumstances
• Thoughts that require God's help
• Thoughts that fit being a child of God
• Thoughts that conform what God has in Mind for you

The scriptures confirm that our thinking is to be in agreement with God, to wit, God-thinking. Listen to the words of Paul. Philippians 2:5 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:" and in Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."


What God is doing globally, right now, is the biggest move of God since creation. And, you have been called, by His foreknowledge to put on the mind of Christ and seize the day that God designed for you. He must trust you a lot to put you in service at this crucial time in history."
