Think Bigger Thoughts
Ephesians 3:20 (The Message)
God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine, guess,
or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around, but
by His Spirit working gently and deeply within us.
So far this week we have established that He (God) is both willing and able
towards you and me and the situations we may be facing. We also established
that when we reach the end point of our ability to imagine and dream
concerning His plans for us, He is just getting started and lives in the
realm called 'exceedingly abundantly above and beyond what we can imagine or
dream.' By faith champion, decide to start to live more in His thoughts for
you rather than your own. Why? His are so much bigger!
Isaiah 55:8 (NKJV)
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the
LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher
than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
For years I thought this was just a belittling statement made to let me know
my place in the order of things. I felt that what God meant went something
like this, "I am God up here and you are Andy, mere human down there, and my
ways are high, and yours are low. My thoughts are great , and yours are
little because I am God and you are my creation, and that's how it is". Then
one day I realized it was actually an invitation. It was God saying, "Yes,
my thoughts are so much higher and bigger than yours, so why don't you come
up and join me in mine." From that day I have been committed to exchanging
my thoughts for His in all areas of my life.
If you dare to exchange your thoughts He will always lift your dreams and
plans to a higher place because as the heavens are higher than the earth so
are His thoughts. The choice is ours again today. Will I live in thoughts
that are based on my mere earthly potential or reasoning (what I am able to
achieve by my ability or with the help of a few friends) or do I begin to
dream and think bigger and higher (according to what can happen because God
is with me and is the author of my destiny?)
Hey Champion, think big, think high, release your redeemed imagination to
imagine what really can happen when the God who formed a universe is on your
side. Live extra large because you only walk the pathway of this life on
earth but once!
God Bless
Andy
