In our prayer meeting Tuesday morning, someone shared briefly about the power of a made up mind. I felt like that was such a word from the Lord. Far too often we go through life like it’s a lazy river, just floating through the years wherever the current takes us. One day we spend some time with the Lord, then the next few days we don’t. Our lives are marked by inconsistency, and they bear the fruit of it.
I fully believe that the Christian life is empowered by grace, but that must be balanced by Philippians 2:13 which says that God works in us to will and to do for his good pleasure. Our will is involved in the process.
We‘ve got to make up our mind that we’re not gonna waste our life; that we aren’t going to scroll our days away; that we are going to burn for Jesus; that we are going to dig into the word of God until we have squeezed every bit of revelation out of it; that we’re going to pray until fire falls from heaven; that we are going to believe God until we see promises come to pass; that our life is going to make eternal impact for the kingdom of God.
If you don’t make up your mind that you’re gonna have these things, then you will live and die without them. I don’t want that to be the testimony of my life. Don’t let it be yours either.
Make up your mind.
He is my Delight
