The importance of thought-life... has been recurrent... what we think... how we perceive... events... people... circumstances... in our minds... effects our faith... peace... heart...
A current read... a gift... focuses totally on thought-life...
Jesus gave us His peace (see John 14:27), but He said we must not allow ourselves to be fearful, intimidated and unsettled. In other words, peace is present in us, but it must be chosen over what our fleshly mind thinks. We can choose to be peaceful by choosing to think on thing that promote peace rather than things that open a door for worry and anxiety.
---Joyce Meyer, Battlefield of the Mind
A devotional... read this morning... encouraging right perceptions... of Him...
You are My beloved. Although you experience many difficulties in your life, I shield you all day long. You cannot imagine what your life would be like if I were not protecting you continually. The adversity I do allow you to experience is ultimately for your good and My Glory. You can rest secure by trusting that My protective Presence is with you always, no matter what trials you may be enduring.
---Jesus Lives, by Sarah YoungKnowing Him... as the Great I AM... the purely present God... the One Sovereign over all... nothing happens except what He allows...
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?
Lamentations 3:38
And He is good... only good...
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100:5
So the challenge... to train the mind... receive everything presented... by Him... as a present....
