"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9


Can you imagine being molded daily by negative thoughts? According to the Huffington Post, the average brain has between 50,000 and 70,000 thoughts a day. Regrettably, the majority (an estimated 60-70 percent) of our thoughts are negative. Why would 60-70% of our thoughts be negative? It could be contributed to many different factors. Life's circumstances, self perception and things that shaped our belief system are three major factors that influence they way we think.


Sometimes, it is difficult to see beyond what we have been taught or what our circumstances tells us. We are often bombarded with thoughts that tells us that our situation is never going to change. As our situation speaks to us, every time we try to think, "this time it's going to work out for me". Our mind assess the argument of our situation and we become compliant because it always seem to win. The negative scenarios are reinforced by our negative thoughts of agreement.


But today, God wants us to break the agreement! Even though we see ourselves not coming out of it, he does. The scripture says that God's thoughts and ways are higher than our own. He made provision in his word for us to lead a healthy and balanced thought life. God does not want us to live in a perpetual pattern of defeated thinking.


We often hear we become what we think. If we are not careful, our thoughts will shape us into fear, doubt, worry and despair. It is obvious, we have a powerful mind. We have to yield our thoughts to God, pick up his word and meditate on it. In doing so, we begin to shift those negative thoughts into positive affirmation of God's faithful promises. Adopting the mind of Christ is solution for a healthy thought life. Ask your Heavenly Father to show you the way of faith.


Don't let your life circumstances, self-perceptions or negative beliefs rule your thoughts. Submit to God and you will find a peace that surpass all understanding.



John16:33

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Today’s scripture reminds us of the peace that only God can give in trying times. He never promised that our journey in life would be smooth. Yet, he did promise that he will give us what we need to be overcomers. God’s promise of perfect peace in tumult time is exactly what we need to face our challenges.

The peace of God brings reassurance, confidence, strength and hope. It fortifies our soul with comfort in the face of our turmoil. When we have God’s peace, we are not easily discouraged or faint of heart. Peace is one of God’s greatest promise and treasure. So many people seek it but, rarely do they ever really find it. However, all believers can and have obtained this peace through Jesus Christ. He secured our peace on the cross. He nailed every problem that we will ever face and purchased our peace with his precious blood.

There will be times in your life when you will experience the complete beauty of the peace of God that is just unexplainable. Jesus gives us peace even when it doesn’t make sense to have it. All you know is that you have a peace about your outcome that you could never give yourself. True peace comes from God, if you desire his peace today all you have to do is ask. Let go of the issues that is weighing you down, that’s causing sleepless nights and that’s pushing you into fear. When you trust God to take care of you, his peace is sure to follow.
