Train me,
GOD, to walk straight; then I'll follow your true path. Put me together, one
heart and mind; then, undivided, I’ll worship in joyful fear (Psalms 86:11
MSG).
When you
want to chart a new course, create new vistas, attain a new level of
prosperity, or set new goals for growth, you have to learn to use your mind.
Your mind is a tool that can be disciplined. You can teach it to focus in one direction,
instead of vacillating in thoughts. This way, you’ll be able to use your mind
to prepare your heart to accomplish greater things. Isaiah 26:3 says, “Thou
wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he
trusteth in thee.” By staying your mind on the Lord, you’re disciplining your
mind to focus on the Word of God concerning you and what you're doing. The
result is that you’ll experience the extraordinary peace of God that gives rest
and prosperity.
Take your
mind away from anything and everything that distracts, and focus your attention
on God. Choose to only be around those who love the Lord, and discuss only with
those who’ll inspire you. Keep away from people who’ll deflate your faith, and
try to talk you out of what you want to achieve. Set time aside for study and
meditation on the Word. To stay your mind on God, you have to stay your mind on
His Word. Joshua 1:8 says, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy
mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe
to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy
way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
In addition,
speak in other tongues at every opportunity you have to be alone because you’re
about something; you want to birth new visions and ideas. Keep at it, and soon
enough, you'd receive the note of victory in your spirit and know that
everything is settled, “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).
