Lamentations 3:22-24 – “The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.  ²³ They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.  ²⁴ “Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I wait for Him.”  LSB

As I read, prayed, pondered, and meditated upon the Word, the LORD, and life, I was reminded of this truth – God’s Love and Mercy Never End!  Hallelujah!  The compassion of God is beyond measure.  His love, mercy, and compassions are new every morning because He is faithful, and He is our portion!  He said, “My eyes pour down unceasingly without stopping.”  Then he set a time on it – “Until Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees.”  If He sees, He will act, was the idea.

There are many things to be gleaned from 1 Corinthians.  However, 3:21-23 is an indispensable catalyst for right thinking and producing right living.  “…For ALL THINGS belong to you.” (v.21). He repeated this at the end of verse 22.  Then in verse 23, he declared, “And you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.”

Have you noticed that we worry and fret over stuff?  We see our troubles, needs, lacks, powerlessness, and inadequacy, BUT here we read Everything Belongs to Us!  Wow!  Did you say EVERYTHING?  But… The problem is, we do not believe it!  We believe it theoretically, but it is not who we are.  

We profess it because it is in the Bible, BUT we do not see it as ours experientially.  We do not see ourselves as worthy or spiritual enough.  Satan steals our hope and faith, and we relegate that truth to the super saints or to be enjoyed in eternity rather than now. 

However, “if” it is true that ALL THINGS belong to us because we belong to Christ and He belongs to God – Why Do We Struggle with The Promise?

We must have our minds reprogrammed.  The only way to do that is to guard our lips. Protect our eyes and ears (what we watch & listen to).  Be careful how and what you allow to come into your consciousness.  

Then, we must begin the process of changing how we talk.  It is essential that we say what God says, not what we see or hear from the devil, others, or circumstances.   We must train ourselves to agree with God and say what He says.  Agree with God, not circumstances or opinions. 

A truth we miss is that whatever we agree with, we give power to.   Abraham believed in hope.  He hoped for what he believed.  It was hopeless & and impossible, But God Said, and he chose to agree with God.

I challenge you today to decide that no more negative or defeatist words or thoughts will be in you.  Determine that if God said it, no matter what you see, you will agree with God even to death.  Nothing will shake you from your confidence in Him.

If God is telling the truth and He is, then we are more than conquerors through Jesus and can do all things through our Lord!  You are victorious if you do not give up, give in, or give out!

This is a new day of victory; rejoice! May the grace of God keep you in perfect peace and bless you richly!
