Excerpt from the book:
Day 21 – Thinking His Thoughts
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7
Entertaining a lie is a poison that works into our being to destroy our identity and purpose. The devil lies about who God is and, in turn, who we are. It’s all about identity. Through rebellion, satan lost his place of identity with God for eternity. He is trying to do the same to the only part of all creation that was made in God’s image.
I can’t afford to have a thought in my head about me that He doesn’t have in His head about me. Thinking independently of God is not freedom. In fact, it is the worst possible bondage imaginable to think outside of the purpose and design set in place by the greatest creative genius ever to exist. The mind-boggling challenge comes when we realize that this One who owes us nothing has invited us into a co-laboring role in caring for all He has made through the privileged relationship of discovering His heart. As a result, the greatest gift we can give ourselves is to require that our thought life work in tandem with His goodness. Being tethered to His goodness is the most wonderful illustration of freedom and liberty possible.
