Take the pictures off your refrigerator of what you want and replace them with Scriptures of what you need.
And so we were challenged by Pastor Steve in his teaching yesterday. The world's way of thinking is "name it and claim it" ~ to visualize what you want and then make it happen. We are told to create a story board or post pictures on our refrigerator to remind us daily of our goals. However, do we ever stop and question the things we are striving towards?
There is nothing wrong with "abundance thinking" ~ but just how do I define abundance? Lately it's not what I used to think. My mind and heart are now focused on living by the Spirit.
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, proving and envying each other. (Gal 5:25-26)
So that means for me not looking left and right, coveting things others have that I do not. It means not living in slavery to my wants but in the freedom of fulfilled needs. It means aligning my heart with treasure that is worth more than gold.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control." (Gal 5:22-23)
How about you?
