BEWARE OF NEGATIVE VOICES
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13 NLT
TODAY’S THOUGHT
There are a lot of voices that tell us we can’t. Some of those voices are inside our own head. Tapes from our past haunt us and try to remind us of past failures, sins, and mistakes. Those voices get loud when we attempt to take a step of faith in a new direction.
Some of us have allowed the voices of other people to fill our ears. Jesus dealt with the unbelief of his hometown in Mark 6. After He taught in their synagogue the people couldn’t understand how Jesus had such authority and ability to do miracles. They saw Jesus as just another one of them. They rejected Jesus as the Son of God and lost the opportunity to experience His power.
Jesus knew what it was like to be rejected by those who should have known him the best. Yet they were blinded to the reality of Jesus because they only saw what they wanted to see.
We can have people around us, sometimes in our own family, who refuse to see what God sees in us. We need to declare that we can do everything through Christ because He is the One giving us strength.
Don’t allow someone else to stop God’s work in and through your life.
TODAY’S PRAYER
