DAILY DEVOTION
Get the Lies Out
You’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.
Philippians 4:8, MSG
The enemy tries to plant lies in our mind that infect our thinking and become a stronghold that keeps us guilty or from pursuing our dream. “You’re not good enough. You’re not attractive. You’ll never get the promotion. You’ll never get well.” Until we get the infections out, until we delete the lies that we’re dwelling on, they’re going to limit us.
The good news is that you don’t have to spend another minute being infected by wrong thinking. If you start renewing your mind with what God says about you, it will clear up all the infected places, it will heal all the places that are hurting. Instead of dwelling on thoughts of inferiority and being less-then, you have to dwell on, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am a masterpiece.” The infection will go away. Those thoughts bring healing. Whatever is holding you back, you have the prescription. Delete the lies and start taking your medicine. Dwell on what God says about you in His Word. Get healthy in your thinking and become who God made you to be.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that Your Word instructs me to think on things that are true and right, wholesome, pure, and of good report. Thank You that You tell me who I am and You’ve given me Your promises to meditate upon. I declare that I will be selective in the thoughts I allow in. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
