The 'Right' Mind Set: Where are YOU Sitting?
You 'NOW' are sitting in higher places - Raised with Christ
1If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:1-3
Good Morning!
Where are you 'sitting' this morning?
Are you under the load of cares, pain, suffering, sin or under the wishes, fears and things of this world?
The enemy can trap us in thinking that the world's events and our day's agenda's are run and have been shaped 'by us!'
In God's Kingdom, this is simply NOT TRUE! God knows where we are, what we are doing and is constantly working all things out for our eternal good. When we believe this, we will act differently and be at complete peace that God is still on the throne.

The Word of God tells us something different.
God has this world in His Hands for His Purpose and He is working all things out for the eternal best for God's People the 'the Christian'.

Proverbs 16 Living Bible (TLB)
16:1 We (man) can make our (his) plans, but the final outcome is (really) in God’s hands. 2 We can always (try to) “prove” that we are right, but is the Lord convinced? 3 (Let us) Commit your (our) work to the Lord, then it will succeed. 4 The Lord has made everything for his own purposes . . .

The Right Viewpoint
The enemy would like to trick us in believing that 'we' are the masters of our fate and our day. The truth is, when Christ came into our lives our whole viewpoint, purpose and destination changed forever!
We now have a Powerful and completely Good Heavenly Father who has seated us at His table and for His purposes and blessings. Once we realize this, our whole lives change with His Peace because we know that He is our PROVIDER, HEALER and DELIVERER!
We can never earn our way to heaven. We can never give enough, love enough, or share enough to 'make it in'. That is why God's gift of GRACE has been given to the world through His Son Jesus Christ. It is when we truly believe this and accept this gospel message, our lives are changed forever!
Be Free This Morning from fear, distress and all of the world's mess. And accept God's Best Gift to the World - Jesus Christ!
Amen!
