The
Lord is saying: Look forward to the good things in store. I am
about to change things. Thank me in every situation, through the
transitions and do not be shaken for I have promised my thoughts
for you are for good and not evil; Wholeness and peace. Keep walking
and looking forward and do not be held back by doubt of my love
for you.
I would like
to share today something that has been helping me recently....
It seems we are often in the position similar to Adam and Eve,
when the devil tempted them to eat of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil. The devil only ever comes to steal kill and
destroy, but Jesus came to give us life and life in all of its
fullness.
Even though
there are many good things happening around us, to be thankful
for.... isn't it strange how the enemy tries to get us focussed
on something that we wish was different. Just as an example, my
husband had cleaned up the kitchen.... what did I focus on.. only
that the tomato sauce had been put on the wrong shelf..... Oops!!
There were
many wonderful trees in the garden, probably hundreds of different
types of fruits Adam and Eve could have eaten and been thankful
for, yet their focus was being diverted to the one.... yes just
one.... in all the hundreds of trees.
It helps me
when I take my focus off of the one thing I am being tempted to
feed my mind with, and to look at all the other good things that
are in my life. When you thank God for Jesus and all the good
things He has done for you, and His wonderful promises.... you
are feeding on the good things that will bring abundance and you
will find rest for you soul.
