SCRIPTURAL TEXT:
Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, the lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken.
Ezekiel 13:7
As a child of God, what you see should be consistent with the Word of God. There will be seasons where we find ourselves in overwhelming situations,but if we have the word of God firmly rooted in us, the word will always prevail!
Jesus was an outstanding example of a man who stayed focused on His goal. His cross was laid on Him with a crown of thorns on His head after being beaten with many stripes. He could have filled His head with thoughts of retaliation and bitterness, but instead He was focused on the glory that was before Him- our salvation. What a Savior!
As believers, it is our responsibility to monitor our thoughts, constantly checking to know if they are aligned with the Word. Whatever is not in line with God’s word cannot be from God and therefore cannot be backed up by Him. The Holy Spirits ever so faithfully helps our infirmities in this regard and aids to us get our thoughts in line with the Word as we turn to Him in meditation. Let this be your custom! Glory to GOD!
