Change Your Mind Set
Thursday, January 18, 2024Key Verse
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11
Text — Jeremiah 29:11-14
Message
The mind functions like a speed of light. It changes from time to time and that’s why you discover that you will be thinking of something now and the next moment your mind switches to another thing. There is no human being on earth that does not make use of the mind.
The children of Israel suffered in Babylon for many years and their minds were set on suffering and hardship; but after seventy years of captivity, the Lord promised to visit them and deliver them because He knew the thought He had towards them. It is the thought of peace and not of evil to give them an expected end.
As the Lord had good thoughts towards the children of Israel, so the Lord is thinking about you too. You must therefore change your mindset and be positive. Whatever challenge you may be going through. The Lord is aware of it and He is thinking of you. He will do good in your life.
All you need to do is to commit everything into His hand. Do not keep quiet, God is ever ready to hear you. He will fulfil His will in your life.
