February 18, 2012 ~ Overcoming all obstacles!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

Here's what the apostle Paul writes in Romans:

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect"

Romans 12:2

TODAY'S WORD:

I read this and I just love this phrase: "...let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." That's amazing and encouraging.

There is no setback you can face in life that God doesn't already have a comeback plan for...

We've all made mistakes.

We've said the wrong thing at the wrong time, or perhaps we did something that is just too difficult or painful to talk about. Maybe we just came up short or failed at something we thought was really important.

I'm confident you can relate to this. We've all had setbacks in our yesterdays. But your past doesn't define your future.

Some people overcome their mistakes, leave them in the past and move on to the great things God has for them. But I've found that, unfortunately, some people don't.

They get trapped in their mistake. They can't get past it. The burden of what they've done wrong (or what's been done wrong to them) often becomes so powerful that it dominates their past, their present and their future.

Selah people' and friends I'm reaching out to you today in hopes of you hearing...God doesn't want you to live this way. He created you to be an overcomer. If you will look for His comeback plan, there's no mistake or setback that can keep you down.

My friend God wants to lift you up!

If you'll let this new attitude form your thinking, God will lift you up out of your current circumstances and bring you into the amazing purposes and plans He's prepared just for you.

I am challenging you to make this your mindset.

Remember, it's time to change your thinking and invite God to transform your life. God's purposes and plans are so much greater than any mistake or setback from your past.


OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Heavenly Father, I choose to let go of all failure and anything from my past that stands between me and all that You have planned for my present and future. Guide me in letting and letting God in all that I say and do as I continue to Grow in Jesus Christ. I love You and bless in Jesus' name. Amen."

 

Your brother in Christ,

Patrick
