Last Sunday I started a new preaching series, Reset Your Mindset. I want to take a few minutes each week to follow up and to lead into the next week.
We need to reset our mindsets from time to time because we tend to fall into patterns that will cause us to miss God’s movement in our lives. If we’re not consistently tuning in to His signal, we’ll miss the message when He calls us to move. Sometimes, we live as if God set everything in motion and now He’s just kicking back, watching the show – but that’s not true.
God is still moving.
In concert with His people, God is still creating the future. As He directs us, we get to meaningfully participate in what He is building! That is incredible news, but if we’re not careful we can become so distracted by what He’s done in the past that we miss what He’s doing now.
Don’t miss what He’s doing today. The first order of resetting our mindset is to understand that we have been created by God, ransomed by God, and claimed by God ~ we are His.
“I belong to the Lord.” Remind yourself of that. Repeat it as often as you need to to remember that you are His. Maybe it’s been a while since you’ve acted out of that truth… Maybe you’ve never acknowledged it… Maybe you’ve never fully placed your self at His disposal and aligned your life with His mission…
Wherever you are… it’s a great place to start.
What’s the new thing that God is doing around you that you think He is inviting you into?
