Today’s Thought.

Some mornings ago, this song kept ringing in my head, ‘Suspicious Mind,’ sung by Elvis.

The words, “We can’t go on together with suspicious minds, we can’t build our dreams on suspicious minds,’ kept repeating as if a message needed to be learned.  About two days in, I begin to question about the lyrics that kept repeating in my head. 

This is what I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Your mind can’t shift from belief to unbelief and expect God to move on your behalf.   You work on a vision for a while then, you stop because it doesn’t come together right away.   It’s time to ask yourself, what and who are you believing in?  A wandering mind is a suspicious mind.  Too much suspicious leads the mind, heart and soul to do the same, wander off in disbelief.  When living and acting suspiciously; thoughts of skeptical, overly cautious, jealousy, distrust and suspecting and wrongly judging others is not a way to live.”

  As I continue listening, suspiciousness thoughts are generated from bad seeds of the past that have not been released.  Most suspicions come from wounds that needs healing the correctly.  Living with a suspicious mind only rips relationship a part before they can begin.  Suspicious mind builds walls not relationships, it sabotages the very good thing you are waiting for because of how you think and feel about everything.  This only leads to an unhappy life.” Changing how you feel about you, can change how you feel about life.  However, if you chose to stay in your suspicious mindset, it would only lead you into a cave of loneliness and anger.  But that’s not all, suspicious thinking forms fear which can keep you living a defeated life.

Encouragement:

Moving forward can be an amazing experience, if you are open to changing your mindset.  Living a successful life begins with Jesus in your heart and trusting Him while He is renewing your mind.  Trade your suspicious thoughts for trust, openness and confidence.  Give up the painful event and trust Jesus to heal every hurting place in your heart.    If you ever had a dream to accomplish, trust must be in place.  Trust Jesus to bring you the right people even when they don’t look as you want them to look.  Being open to Jesus to heal your mind, build your mind on good things (Godly things).  Confidence can be a powerful tool, especially when you are standing on truth.  Your truth can be believing in your renewed mind with Jesus standing not just beside you but in you.

Be mindful of your words as past memories resurface; grant forgiveness where it is needed.   Forgive yourself for holding on to painful events.

Prayer:

Father, you are so awesome, and your love for us is one we cannot describe.  Today we look to you for the healing we need so that we can see ourselves as you see us.  Heal our minds so that suspicion will no longer have its rights to live here.  Jesus, help us with our unbelief and renew our minds to think as you do.  Holy Spirit, you are welcome to live in my heart and help be more kind to myself and to others as my mind is transformed in the likeness of the Father.  I pray and receive this prayer in Jesus’ Name.
