God's thoughts towards you are always good




 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. Isaiah 55:8


There are many things you should know about God's thoughts towards you, but today, I want to talk about just one. Do you know what God thinks about you? Or rather, do you know how God sees you? This is not about life's plans and strategies, but about your as a person. This should be a fundamental question to ask yourself regularly because the enemy works very hard to disrupt our thoughts so that we do not know what God thinks about us.

One thing the enemy has managed to instil in human understanding since the first day man rebelled is lies and misinformation. Satan has alienated us from God in our thoughts.

In the book of Isaiah 49:14, the Word of God says, "But Zion said, 'The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.'" The thoughts of Israelites were that God had forsaken them, but they were mistaken. What they thought about God was different from what God was thinking about them, which is why He responded and said, "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you. See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me." Isaiah 49:15-16.

Our thoughts have often been very different from God's thoughts. Today, seek to know what God thinks about you. Many people have thoughts like those of Zion; they believe that God has forsaken them, that God has forgotten them, or that God is punishing them. But this is not true; God's thoughts towards you are good and peaceful. In Jeremiah 29:11, God says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Therefore, God's thoughts and ways in your life are generally good, and the ways He uses to meet your needs are different from the ways you desire.

Our biggest problem is wanting God to do things in the manner and time we want, and when He doesn't, we think God doesn't love us and has bad thoughts about us. But what we need to do is know that God thinks good thoughts about us and trusts His ways.

Prayer: Thank you, LORD, for thinking good and peaceful thoughts about me and for your ways that are not like mine. I ask you to teach me to trust you, to accept your thoughts, and to follow and trust your ways. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
