Think on Things Above
We would encourage each and every one of us to spend time reflecting on what’s above. We’re not talking about the birds, the sky, the sun, the stars, etc. We are talking about all the blessings that are there for us in “heavenly places” (Ephesians 1:3).
What has God provided us? Take time to learn how much He loves you. Take time to get to know Him. How? Through His Word — the Bible. Jesus said that His Word is spirit and truth (John 6:63); it contains “incorruptible” seed (1 Peter 1:23) that will sprout, given the proper time and care.
God created all living things and put seed so they could reproduce after their kind. Take each day as a new day, and speak life over the seeds you plant in your heart. For God made you in His image, and as He spoke and created life, He has given His children the ability to do the same: speak and create life. Proverbs 18:21 teaches us that that death and death are in the power of the tongue. Wow! Both life and death! That’s how powerful our words are.
So, learn to speak life out of your mouth. Meditate on what’s above — whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things (Philippians 4:8). And watch as you do this how you bring life to dead situations. For God’s dunamis power is for you and inside of you (Ephesians 1:19).
Believe that you are blessed and then receive all that He has for you, for you are His beloved! God the Father loves you as much as He loves Jesus (John 17:23)
