Friday in the word is a very good thing. Let’s think the thoughts of God. Let’s examine the words He has shared. And apply what we hear and read.
Ephesians 13:3-8 NLT
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. 4 Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. 6 So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. 7 He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. 8 He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
Take a minute and highlight the things that God says about us … we are BLESSED with every spiritual blessing, God LOVES us and CHOSE us, we are ADOPTED by God as His children, His kindness is for us and purchased our freedom.
All of that is over the top awesome. All of that is true because of Jesus! Apply it now. Because of what Jesus was sent to do and did for us we have these things true about each of us. That is the grace and kindness of God at work.
By applying the truth we focus our minds and hearts and attention toward God and not the world. That changes even more for us.
Think His thoughts. Read His words. Apply our truth.
Colossians 3:1-3 NLT
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. 3 For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
