Mindset.!!! This is a word that carries weight in its meaning. I cast my mind back to the children of
Israel, when the 12 spies were set out to spy the land. They came with some good report BUT when its matters most, their mindset overrule their inert potential and strengths. Because of this act, they could not enter the land……am not preaching.
What trips me is that we do allow our mindset to deprive us of benefits and claims that we could lay our hands upon…..am a culprit. I found out that we can quote the scriptures well, memorize it but when it comes to application we allow our mind to rule!!!! If the Israelites had not seen themselves like grasshoppers, they would have entered into the Promised Land long enough. There are times I asked myself can I achieve this task, am I qualified to attain this level, will I ever be who I want to be, how do I see myself,….and the questions go on and on…
A man once said, “If you can not see the picture, you can’t see the future”. Its dawn on me that the picture one paints in the mind reflects the reality of his life. No matter the challenges, rejection, circumstances, etc.., the clear picture of one’s dream must constantly remain fixed.
Let keep painting the picture of our expectations on our mind, give no room for negative thinking…its hard but we can choose not.. and remain focus.
Have a great week!!
Easier said than done! but true….
The battle is said is in the mind….that is where truth can be distorted..hopes lost and mistakes made….If not alined with the Word!
again I say thank God for his mercy!
