TOTD, March 16-18

God Will Perform It

God is working in secret, behind the scenes even when it looks like nothing will ever change.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
--- Philippians 1:6

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Reading today's TOTD made me imagining God as the Director of the movie.
He's the one who's controlling everything, even though we might not see Him in the movie of our life. In faith, we believe that He will do more than our thoughts. We might not see things changes, but when He comes and leads us in His time, it will change drastically if He wants to... JUST BELIEVE IN HIM! (-fon-)

Forget the Past

The past is the past. Whether the past had victory or defeat, it is still the past. It is gone.
Live today!

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
--- Philippians 3:13,14

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Letting go of the past. Maybe this is not an easy thing to do. Many of us still live in the past experience. We still remember the glory that we achieved, and we also still remember the pain that we faced. I'm also one of those person, who's not easy in letting go my past. But, today's word of God reminds me to live on today. This day is the very day that I need to treasure, I need to face, because each and every day has its own joy and sorrow... (-fon-)

Set Your Mind and Keep It Set

So many people's problems are rooted in thinking patterns that actually produce the problem they experience in their lives. Our enemy, Satan, offers wrong thinking to everyone, but we do not have to accept his offer.

If then you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.
--- Colossians 3:1,2

My own reflection on this Thought:
* The easiest thing to be influenced by Satan is our mindset. How many times in one day, we keep believing that we're not worthy? That God won't forgive our sins because we're great sinners? Those thoughts don't come from God, but come from the evil one. We could ask God's favor to think through our mind, so that our mind will be filled with positive thoughts and love from God instead of the negative ones. Not an easy thing, but if we keep trying to do it all over again, I'm sure we'll make it through. Slowly but sure, we could face the negativity and change it with God's love... (-fon-)
