21st August: Raise Your Standard
(Isaiah 55:8,9 NKJV) “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
The above scripture should not be seen from a perspective that man will never be able to think or reason like God. God gave us His Word so that we can think like Him. Faith will never be natural until we begin to think like God. It takes the God-kind of thoughts to exercise the God-kind of faith.
The plan of God for you is that His Word should be your standard. You have a responsibility to discover what God has said about the different aspects of your life in His Word and go a step further to establish these discoveries as final authority. Then watch as every discovery you make in the Word becomes for you a vital truth making you prevail over the matters of life.
When God’s Word becomes your standard, victory becomes a way of life. Everything in your life reflects the reality of God’s Word that the devil stops being a threat to you. Things that were not working before will begin to work. Make up your mind to esteem the Word of God today and you will be esteemed in all your ways.
