The abundant life – How God sees you (P04). – Saturday, 7 October

“You keep him in perfect peace
    whose mind is stayed on you,
    because he trusts in you.”
Isaiah 26:3 ESV

“⁶ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; ⁷ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

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.”
Philippians 4:6-8 NKJV

Now that we’re in Christ we shouldn’t focus on the failings of the flesh. We should focus on the victory we have because of who we are in Christ. The number one reason that so many Christians live in defeat is that they focus on the flesh more than on the spirit.

“For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”
Romans 8:6 NKJV

Choose to focus on what God says about you, not what you feel about yourself or what you see or hear about yourself. The more you think of yourself as God thinks about you the more you’ll start to live like it!
