2 Samuel 9:6-10
The Scripture tell us that “with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10-10). There is a strong tie between what is believe and what is confessed.
You need to allow new meditations to dwell in your heart by faith, for your life will ultimately take on the direction of your thinking. Many weaknesses, such as procrastination and laziness, are just draperies that cover up subconscious avoiding the risk of failure. Remember that “nothing will be impossible for you” if you will only believe (Mathew 17:20).
Let me remind you of a story from 2 Samuel. King David sent his servant to find any surviving relatives of his friend Jonathan. When his servant returned to his palace from Lo Debar with Mephibosheth, the crippled son of Jonathan, David rolled out the red carpet and invited Mephibosheth to join him for dinner at his royal banquet table. The problem was that Mephibosheth couldn’t sit at the table without failing to the floor. He struggled with his position because of his condition. Hs problem wasn’t merely Even after he had been raided from the deplorable condition he had lived in for years, he was still so oppressed in his mind that he described himself as a “dead dog” (2 Samuel 9:8). He was king’s kid, but he saw himself as a dead dog.
Perception is everything. Mephibosheth thought of himself as a dead dog, so he lay on the floor like one. Sister, you have been on the floor long enough! It is time for a resurrection, and it is going to start in your mind.
Has God blessed you with something you are afraid of losing? Could it be that you think you are going to lose it because you don’t feel worthy?
Understanding this one fact: Just because you’ve been treated like a dog doesn’t mean you re one! Get up off the floor and take a seat at the Master’s table – you are worthy. You have a right to be place and position you are in, not because of your goodness, but by virtue of His invitation. I pray that God will heal your thoughts until you are able to enjoy and rest in what He is doing in your life right now.
