Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word. It gives you the mind of Christ. It makes you think differently - differently than you used to think, differently than most people think. You think like God thinks. He knows the end from the beginning. Are you facing anything right now? Could it end badly? God has no fear, because He is in charge, He is in control of everything, He knows what is going to happen, what people will do and what He will do. And He promised to deliver you, and to provide for you! That means any fears other than the fear of the LORD are unfounded - a waste of thought, time, and energy. Psalms 27:1 – The LORD is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. David is one of my favorite people ever. Thankfully, he wrote down what made him great, what made him different, what made him a man after God’s own heart. He wrote down what he did. First he understood, and then he always told himself. It was his habit… to secure his thoughts and beliefs. In these three verses is David talking to himself - declaring God’s truth over himself, his mind, his heart, his life. David always spoke to himself (he commanded his own mind and emotions) and he always spoke life. This wasn’t just positive thinking out loud, this wasn’t just giving himself a pep talk. He was declaring into the atmosphere and into his heart, who God is, what God promised, what God will do and what he will do! The LORD is my light and my salvation. That means I can see where I’m going. As long as I’m in the light of His Word, I will not stumble. And as long as I’m in the light of His plans… as long as my plans are His plans – I won’t get off course, and I won’t lose time going in the wrong direction. The LORD – means supreme in authority, He’s also supreme in power, supreme in understanding, supreme in intelligence, and supreme in strategy. He knows every thing the devil will try to do, before he does it… But the devil has no idea what God is going to do, or when He will do it. That means you need not fear. If He’s the stronghold of your life – who you trust in, who you run to first, whose promise and power you declare (like David) – to set your mind and thoughts and heart… then there is nothing you could face that will make you afraid. Not threat of loss or threat of harm, not threat of failure or threat of wrong decision. Ask God for wisdom and He will give it. Ask Him for His plans, and He will reveal them. Ask Him for understanding and you will receive it. Not only does David not fear, he is confident. Not in himself, his strength, wisdom or skill, his confidence is in the LORD Most High who is the stronghold He runs to, and depends on. His confidence is in the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth. That means weapons may be formed against you, but they will not prosper. It means evil men may advance against you – but they will stumble and fall. An army may even besiege you, but you will still be confident, because your confidence is in the One who brings your salvation. Your Deliver from every attack or threat, from every calamity, or misfortune, from every falsehood or false accusation. David always reveals how He thinks, and how he ensures that He keeps thinking that way. He declares God’s Word, His character, His authority, His love, and His promise. Praying that you will never miss PiVAT before dinner – it’s how you walk in God’s plans for your success today. It’s your protection, as well as your promotion. Praying you will want to keep coming back to PRISM today – it’s not only truth to establish your mind, your thoughts and how you think, it’s how to be reminded of the way to keep thinking like He thinks, and doing what He tells you. So fear will not affect you, and your confidence will be in the One who will never leave you nor forsake you, but who leads you through every battle, to the green pastures and still waters. Praying that you will think like God thinks, because you say what He says, just like David. Love you all, dad
