Hello, my dear friend! Think about this...“What you behold is what you become.” What a powerful and true statement! Thinking the right thoughts and taking the right actions sometimes seem confusing. When you’re in one of those big ole trials, and you choose to think the right thoughts and take the right actions, you can be sure that you have been practicing setting your mind on things above! Oh yes; that's when heaven erupts in God and Jesus are standing to their feet and giving each other high fives! :-) Yes, during those difficult times, God is able to do mighty things when we look at the answer, not the problem, and press ahead!

Genesis 42:1-2 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why do you just keep looking at each other? ” He continued, “I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us so that we may live and not die.”

Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

Standing around looking at the problem never fixes anything. Setting your mind on Christ and his love for you will open you up to the answer you need for your situation! The solution to your problem will be found in His leading and guiding; the truths you need will be found in him alone. My dear friend, everything is going to be alright—a matter of fact— it will turn out for your ultimate good!

Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Phil 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Take the time to take an inventory of your thoughts and attitudes. Your thoughts are the gateway to your heart. Your thoughts determine what will end up happening in the unseen realm, and the unseen realm governs all that is seen. God spoke through Solomon, saying, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Prov 4:23 All of life’s issues will flow from what you’re thoughts and heart produces.

Your dominant thoughts create a magnetic force within you that draws you to whatever you have been thinking. As Henry Ford so profoundly stated, “If you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.”

Are you looking at your loving Heavenly Father and his ability, or are you trusting in your strength to make it all happen? The only way to be confident of a great future is to set your mind on what God has declared regarding you. Today is your day, now is your opportunity! Maybe it’s time to consider…
