Morning Meditation-He’s Mindful of You

image

To be mindful is to be aware of something of importance.
Here are some Promises to meditate on through out the day or any time you may feel overwhelmed and your thoughts begin to enter into the direction that God is not concerned about you.

  • He is mindful of where you are at in life.

“What is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?”  Psalm 8:4

  • He hears you every time you pray.

“So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.”  John 11:41

  • He is concerned about your well-being.

“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”  Luke 12:7

  • He knows the true intentions of the heart.       

“I the Lord search the heart
and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.”  Jeremiah 17:10

Remember the key to renewing your mind is to change your thought pattern.

Patience and waiting for a dream to manifest not only could be, but is definitely a hard process to endure.  Many people see the vision and become overtaken by the beauty of it.  Not counting the cost or the sacrifice. Not realizing that God is orchestrating their steps towards it.  This could be many steps. Some steps may seem to go around the vision. stairs
But why? God is doing a work within us. Not only is He perfecting the Promise but He is also perfecting the Recipient. He desires that the Fruit of our lives bear His Reflection.  Carrying His Witness to those that He has brought into our Sphere of Influence.
So why become frustrated with the route that you’re being taken on when the Promise has manifested in God’s timing and provisions has been made available for the Vision?
ENDURE THE PROCESS… HE WILL BRING YOU OUT AS PURE GOLD.  IN THE END THE VISION SHALL SURELY SPEAK AND NOT LIE. AMEN!

Random thought…Inner Circle

Random thought…Inner Circle

Morning thought. .. Have you ever considered the sources of your motivation? Yes sources. When it comes to motivation there are numerous factors involved.   What about your inner circle? Do their conversations add value and motivation to your dreams?

Meditate on this for a moment… “Blessed is the person who does not follow the advice of wicked people, take the path of sinners, or join the company of mockers.” Psalm 1:1

image

Why is this person called blessed?  Because they are mindful of who has access to their space. Consider this have you ever spoken to a friend and felt drained and discouraged afterwards?  Because with the counsel of good friends come strength and edification (building up).  Edification is not always a feel good experience.  But as iron sharpens iron so will a true friend or companion.  They will encourage us in ways that will cause us to acknowledge our purpose and pursue our dreams

.

My prayer for this day is that God will add people to my and your lives that will sharpen and motivate us to becoming who He intended for us to be.
With that Happy New Year and New Beginnings!

motivation 3” Self motivation is the internal driving force, a gift that God gives each of us to press forward pass discouraging circumstances towards a vision or dream that God has birth within us.”

The Art of Self-Motivation

     Tomorrow marks the beginning of a New Year, and with the New Year comes a list of resolutions, challenges and goals.  In reality most resolutions don’t last a month due to a lack of motivation.  Yes a lack of motivation!  To be honest I am all to familiar with falling into a place of complacency. Excuses such as I’m tired makes it all too easy to go home and fall asleep in the recliner instead of pushing myself down the street to the gym and put in an hour workout.  Excuses! Excuses! We’re full of excuses!

Complacency

       Complacency is the uninvited guest that comes and takes residence in many areas of our lives.  Whether the gcomplacencyoal is to stay in shape and improve our health or if it is to move forward from one place in life to a place of maturity, complacency always seems to find a small crack in our lives that drains life and  blocks necessary growth. Do I have any witnesses?  Some people are not able to leave the familiar places because leaving complacency requires one to enter into unfamiliar territory.  Change is necessary.  Pressing forward towards the mark, the goals, pass pain, pass stagnation…

Where does Motivation come from?

Wouldn’t it be nice to whip out a bit of motivation any time we lean towards passivity? But the truth is Motivation is not ourselves but it is within us.

“The One that is in you is greater than the one that is in the world.”                                                1 John 4:4

Yes! I’m referring to God, the Father and Creator.  He is known for many things.  But when it comes to motivation He is the Source to rely on. His daily bread of inspiration, and encouragement is the intended fuel He has provided for us to run on.

“Motivation is activated by knowing our true place in God.  ”     The Act of Self Motivation

Jump Start your Day

Your Daily Routine should consist of:

  • Prayer-Commanding your day. Come face to face with God for instructions and directions for the day.
  • Reading the Word-Particularly meditating on a scripture that deals with the current issue(s) that you’re dealing or struggling with, or simply a scripture that reminds you of God’s goodness and the benefit of His Presence in your life.   There’s power in meditating on His Promises through out the day.  Meditation brings forth empowerment.

 

By doing these two things on a daily basis, you are a guaranteed to start up the engines of self motivation within you.  Be empowered! Be motivated! Walk in strength on today!
