Do you think like a child of God?
Do you think like a child of God? Thinking is a normal thing for every human being on earth and is good. The way that we think is really important because it affects our future.
As children of God, we have to make sure that we are thinking like him. There are many things that are going on in life that can affect our thoughts, so let’s be on guard.
Proverbs 4:23:
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Romans 12:2:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will.”
Whatever action we take in our lives today was first created in our minds. The reason the devil is trying to attack us mentally is because when he does, that will affect all areas of our lives.
Complaining, judging, and being angry are so common in our world today, and that can affect our thinking patterns.
Instead of complaining about how bad everything is, why do we do our best to set an example and leave the rest to God?
Let’s focus on our journey.
In order to think like children of God, we must have a close relationship with him. Praying to God is not enough; reading his words and applying them to our lives.
The only person who cares deeply about us is our heavenly father, and he wants the best for us. Spending time with the Lord is really important because that will help us get to know him.
Our permanent home is in heaven, and the Lord wants us to come there with him. It is not the will of God that any of us should perish in hell.
The grace of God given to us by Jesus Christ through his death is speaking for us now. Our goal should be to please the Lord and to make heaven.
The word of God told us that “without faith, it is impossible to please him. We are not allowed to behave like the rest of the world because we are the representatives of God.
Worldly possessions are all good, but they won’t make us happy forever. The joy of the Lord is our strength, meaning that our happiness is not based on worldly things.
The Lord who created us will never leave us or forsake us when we depend on him. The thought he has for us is of good and not of evil, to give us a beautiful future.
The purpose or duty that the Lord has given us is to win souls for the kingdom of God. If our thoughts are the same as those of the people in the people in the world, how are we going to win them over for God?
The world is watching us, and if we are not living based on God’s words, they won’t believe us. If we show the world that our God is good and that he cares for us, that will attract them to God.
When they see us being happy in the midst of our problems, that will make them want to know our God. We are never meant to be like our problems because our father is always in control.
The enemy will come with his temptation to make us lose our faith in God, but let us not give up. God didn’t give up on us when Adam and Eve sinned against him.
Our Heavenly Father was using every method to bring us all back to God by giving us kings, prophets, and judges. Every other way to bring us back to God wasn’t effective enough, so he sent his son, Jesus Christ.
