Mind Set

Time for a wonderful flashback. I want to reiterate the importance of our thoughts and how they govern our actions and outcomes. So this week I will share highlights from Exodus 4:1-5.     Exodus 4:1 – “Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’”
     Now is the time to stop listening to naysayers, critics, negative people and sourpusses. No one will ever totally buy into your dream because it is not for them it is for YOU. God has placed a special project, direction, dream or plan in your life and while some will support and encourage you, no one will fully understand what you must do. Most of the time you may not know 100% of what you must do because God might not reveal it to you but a piece or step at a time. Your first mind set change must be to stop the negative ‘talk’ that filters into your life. This might be from people but it can also be self-generated. Now is the time to squelch self-doubt and believe that those urging to get up and get moving are from God.
     Many of us feel the urge to go after wonderful plans but because they are grand or glorious we believe they are too far-fetched to be pursued. Stop the hindering and know that God has placed that in your heart. He is a BIG God and does not dwell in the miniscule. Why would a God who created worlds, galaxies and universes give you a ‘Dollar Tree’ plan? Yes it is big…go for it.
     Every day is a good day; it is up to us to a make it a GREAT day! Be blessed! Rev. Dr. JoAnn
