Think Divine Thoughts
by Patricia Hamel
No matter what you are going through today the Lord is wanting
you to know that His grace is sufficient for you. Paul said he
would rather boast in his infirmities that the power of Christ
would rest upon him. Many of you are rather, groaning under
the weight of the tests and trials and looking for a quick way
out. The truth is that the Lord will give you grace until His
Divine moment when you will be released by Him. It is never
easy going through trials and being on the potters wheel. It
does though work a more peacable fruit of righteousness in our
hearts.
9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My
strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly
I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of
Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV)
There are times when God is bringing His Divine correction to
your life. None like the correction of the Lord but God loves
you too much to leave you the way you are. He sees your
potential in Christ. Do you see who you are able to be in Him?
If so, then you must desire to be like your maker and remain
on the potters wheel as long as necessary for the work to be
done. Ask for fresh vision and be encouraged today that
whatever is going on in your life, the Lord is very aware of
it. His eye is on you and He sees you in your situation today.
11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but
painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit
of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews
12:11 (NKJV)
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things
are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure,
whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report,
if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate
on these things Phil. 4:8 9 (NKJV)
It is time to bring all thoughts captivity to Christ. We are
admonished to think on things that are good pure and lovely.
This will lift you above your situation as you praise the Lord
and worship Him He will bring you to a new level of confidence
and trust in Him.
Rejoice this day and again I say, rejoice in the Lord.
