Romans 3:3 MSG

– Reflection:

Sometimes, we’re longing for a family member to believe in us and cheer us on or for a friend to encourage us, but it’s just the opposite. There will be people close to you who don’t think you can accomplish what God put in your heart. You have to say as Paul did, So what if they don’t believe? I love them, but I will be deaf to their unbelief.

Where do we go from here?

These are tests we have to pass. You don’t need them to believe in you. Be respectful, but be deaf to their unbelief. The quicker you get rid of it, the better you’ll be. If you dwell on it, it will become a lie that infects your thinking. You can’t play defeat in your mind and have victory. You can’t think of sickness and have health. You can’t dwell on thoughts of lack and have abundance. The way you keep the infection out is by dwelling on what God says about you: “You are strong, talented, and valuable. Your future is bright. Your dreams are on the way.” 

Our Prayer for Today

Father, thank you for allowing me to take control of my thought life and stop allowing negative thoughts to enter. Thank you for letting me know that I can be deaf to the unbelief that comes my way from the people in my life. Help me be respectful, but help me get rid of any lies before they infect my thinking. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
