Mind Tricks 

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 
1 Corinthians 6:20 

Recommended Reading Philippians 4:8-9

We have a lot on our minds. Our sphere of concern stretches from the people we love to the state of the world and everything in between. Mix this with all the chatter in the media and it’s easy to become confused about what is important. As our mind is filled with cynicism and fear, God’s truth is marginalized and pushed out. When our fear begins to define us, we cannot help but pass it on to those around us. Instead of living confident and free, we are caged and held back by the lies our mind is hoarding.

Consistently meditating on God’s redemption and our secure future in heaven has the power to set us free. We are His children and we will live forever in His presence, healed of our brokenness: physical, mental, and emotional. When we view today through the grid of eternity, our fears are extinguished by His power and love. We are no longer lost orphans, but adopted sons and daughters. We belong to Him, and He delights in using us for His glory.

Let heaven fill your thoughts instead. Because when you do, everything on earth gets placed in its proper perspective.
