Who God Says We Are
Psalms 31:24a
“Be strong, and let your heart take courage…”

The call to be strong and be courageous is great, but too many times we have to inform our mind that through God we can do ANYTHING!

God told Joshua in Joshua 1:8, the way for him to be strong and very courageous and to be successful was to begin with meditation. I’m not talking about mindless chanting and emptying our minds like the new age movement mandates. I’m talking about meditating on God’s word.

Joshua 1:8 says, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

So, after the first step of getting our mind in line with what God says about us, then we have to begin speaking what God’s word says we can and will accomplish.

Deuteronomy 28:13 says, “…the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you shall only go up and not down, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God…”

Today, get you mind in line with who God says you can be and get your words in line with what God’s word says.

Prayer:
God you created us to win and not lose. You created us in Your image. You created us to be above and not beneath, You created us to be the head and not the tail. Help us to get in line with who You say we are.
