Positive Thoughts-Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams.

โ€œConsult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfilled potential.Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.โ€Pope John XXIII.

Word of the Day.
For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song.” Zephaniah 3:17

Not At This Time

It can be quite discouraging for wanna-be writers to get their work rejected time after time. When they send in a manuscript to a publisher, theyโ€™ll often hear back in a letter with these words: โ€œThank you. But your submission does not meet our needs at this time.โ€ Sometimes this really means โ€œnot at this timeโ€”or ever.โ€ So they try the next publisher and the next.

Iโ€™ve found that the phrase This does not meet our needs at this timeโ€”or ever can be a helpful saying in my Christian walk to renew my mind and refocus my thoughts on the Lord.

Hereโ€™s what I mean. When starting to worry, we can remind ourselves: โ€œWorry does not meet my needs at this timeโ€”or ever. My heartโ€™s need is to trust God. I will โ€˜be anxious for nothingโ€™ โ€ (Phil. 4:6).

When we envy what another person has or does, we can reinforce the truth: โ€œEnvy does not meet my needs at this timeโ€”or ever. My need is to give thanks to God. His Word says, โ€˜Envy is rottenness to the bonesโ€™ (Prov. 14:30), and โ€˜In everything give thanksโ€™ โ€ (1 Thess. 5:18).

We canโ€™t renew our minds by ourselves (Rom. 12:2); itโ€™s the transforming work of the Holy Spirit who lives in us. Yet speaking the truth in our thoughts can help us to submit to the Spiritโ€™s work within.

For Further Thought
What are some areas you struggle with in your heart?
Ask God to renew your mind that it might think like His.
Then keep reminding yourself of the truth.

The Spirit of God renews our minds
when we review the Word of God.

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. โ€”Romans 12:2
