*IT MATTERS HOW YOU THINK*

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings… keep them in the midst of your heart *(Proverbs 4:20-21)*

God cares about how you think. Your thoughts are important because they can bring joy and peace, or sadness and fear.

An example is King David in the Bible. When he saw Goliath, everyone else thought, *“This giant is too big.”* But David thought differently. He believed God was with him, and that right thinking gave him the victory (1 Samuel 17).

Your thoughts can help you grow. That’s why God wants you to fill your heart with His Word. When you think about what is true, good, and right, your life will go in the right direction.

So today, choose to think God’s thoughts as you meditate on His Word, and you’ll live a beautiful life every day!

*📖SCRIPTURE READING*

*Proverbs 4:20-22* My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. *21* Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. *22* For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

*SAY THIS*
God’s Word is in my heart, guiding my thoughts, words, and actions. I think excellent and glorious thoughts always. Hallelujah!

*THE FATHER IN YOU*

_(The Holy Spirit Within You Is Your Advantage)_

*TO THE BIBLE:*
*Acts 1:8 NIV*
_“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”_

*LET’S TALK*

*“Ugh… I studied so hard, but this subject is still confusing,”* David sighed.

Sarah smiled and said, *“Before I started reading, I prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to help me. Suddenly, everything made sense.”*

David looked surprised. *“Wait… you mean God can actually help with stuff like schoolwork too?”* Sarah nodded. *“Of course. He lives in us. That’s our advantage.”*

Yes, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of power. When He came to live in you, He brought the dynamic ability to cause changes. That power is not dormant; it’s stirred through prayer, faith, and bold confessions of the Word. He’s also the Spirit of revelation. He unveils mysteries and brings divine insight to your spirit. He’s the advantage within you.

Through Him, you understand things others can’t grasp. It’s part of the blessings and benefits of praying in the Spirit. When you spend time praying in the Spirit, the wisdom of God rises within you, and answers flood your spirit. Your spirit is enlightened with innovations and solutions, even for your schoolwork, friendships, and personal decisions.

Every time you face a challenge, remember that the Holy Spirit is the advantage within you. Depend on Him for direction, solutions and strength, whether you’re preparing for exams, making choices, or dealing with peer pressure. As you yield to Him and fellowship with Him, His glory manifests in and around you. He’ll talk with you, walk with you, and reveal God’s heart to you always. You’ll never walk in confusion or fear because His presence provides direction and assurance, even when you’re unsure about your future or feeling overwhelmed.

Additionally, the Holy Spirit is the Father at work in you. Through His ministry, you can do the impossible and work the miraculous, at any age and stage in life. Make time each day to commune with Him; speak to Him from your heart, and listen for His voice in your spirit, just like talking to a close and trusted friend. Acknowledge Him in all that you do, and you’ll always walk in victory.

*GO DEEPER*

*John 14:26* But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

*Romans 8:14* For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

*Ephesians 3:14-16* For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, *15* Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, *16* That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

*PRAY*

_Dear Father, I thank you for the fellowship and partnership of the Holy Spirit in my life. I cherish His divine presence and person in me; He’s my guide, my comforter and my ultimate advantage, in my school, home, and everyday life. Even now, your glory, wisdom, power and love are manifest in my life because I walk in the Spirit and I’m led by the Spirit, helping me make wise choices and live boldly for You, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

Bleibe ständig vom Wort Gottes ernährt! Tägliches Studium und Nachsinnen über die Heilige Schrift stärkt deinen Geist und hält dich in der Wahrheit verwurzelt. „Ihr irrt, weil ihr weder die Schriften noch die Kraft Gottes kennt.“ (Matthäus 22,29)

*CONTINUALLY NOURISHED BY THE WORD*

_Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God_ *(Matthew 22:29)*

The Lord Jesus made a striking statement when He said, *“You err because you know not the Scriptures.”* This shows that ignorance of God’s Word inevitably leads to error. When the Word of God is absent from a person’s life, confusion and misdirection become inevitable.

The knowledge of the Scriptures keeps you aligned with God’s truth and preserves you from deception. That’s why studying and meditating on the Word should be a daily and constant experience in your life. The Word of God can be likened to the Manna that God fed the children of Israel with in the wilderness. He instructed them not to store it for the next day.

Each day’s provision had to be gathered afresh. When the Lord Jesus later declared in John 6:35, *“…I am the bread of life…,”* He revealed the deeper meaning of that experience. He’s the true bread from heaven, the living Word that nourishes the human spirit. The Word of God is God’s food for your spirit, and you need it every day.

The Lord instructed in Joshua 1:8, *“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night….”* Meditation on the Word is essential for a victorious Christian life. You can’t depend merely on your past experiences with the Word. Your spiritual strength is sustained through continual fellowship with the Word.

When a Christian neglects personal study of the Word, or is inconsistent in church or in the environment where the Word is taught, he or she becomes vulnerable. But when you remain consistently nourished by God’s Word and strengthened through fellowship with those who share the same faith, you stay spiritually alert, fortified and resistant to the stratagems of the adversary.

Therefore, make sure you’re grounded in a spiritual family, a home church, where the Word of God is continually taught and lived. Stay in fellowship with other Christians, and meditate regularly on the Word. Your spirit will be nourished and strengthened continually, and you’ll grow from grace to grace, faith to faith, and from glory to glory. Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, thank you for the nourishment of your Word, which strengthens my spirit daily. I delight in your Word and meditate on it continually; it guides me in wisdom, strengthens my faith and keeps me victorious over every work of darkness. I walk in the light and power of your truth today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Matthew 4:4* But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

*Joshua 1:8 AMPC* This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.

*1 Peter 2:2 NIV* Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

*UNDERSTANDING TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS*

_But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify_ *(Romans 3:21 NIV)*

Righteousness is a word many use without a proper understanding of what it means. The world can’t define righteousness; it must be understood from God’s perspective. How can a man who isn’t righteous describe righteousness? It’s impossible to define what you’ve never known or experienced.

For many, righteousness is reduced to moral uprightness, often an exaggerated view of personal conduct. Some consider themselves righteous in their work; others in their families or communities. But these are human attempts to define something divine.

The Scriptures tell us something important about man’s righteousness and the different kinds of righteousness that exist in the world: they’re as filthy rags: *“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away”* (Isaiah 64:6).

That means every form of righteousness that originates from man, every standard built on human effort, and every confidence grounded in personal conduct falls short before God. No matter how morally upright one may appear, it doesn’t make him righteous before God. What then is righteousness? How does a man become righteous before God?

Romans 3:21 (NIV) gives us an idea; it says, *“But now apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been made known….”* This shows that there’s a righteousness from God and it isn’t based on performance or adherence to the Law. It’s something divine; it comes from God Himself.

Romans 5:17 declares: *“For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”* The righteousness from God, therefore, is a gift. It’s not achieved; it’s received.

This changes everything. You don’t try to be righteous before God; you receive His gift of righteousness. It’s not about your efforts; it’s about what He has made available in Christ. This is the righteousness that qualifies you, empowers you, and brings you into right standing with God. We’ll explore this some more in our next study.

*CONFESSION*

_I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Righteousness is my nature. I walk in the consciousness of my right standing, free from guilt, condemnation, and inferiority. I reign in life through Christ, expressing His nature and fulfilling His will in Jesus’ Name. Hallelujah!_

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Romans 3:25-26 NIV* God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— *26* he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

*‭‭2 Corinthians 5:21* For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

*Romans 10:1-3* Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. *2* For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. *3* For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

*THE KINDNESS OF GOD*

_And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him?..._ *(2 Samuel 9:3)*

In the Old Testament, the word translated *“mercy”* comes from the Hebrew word *“hesed.”* It means lovingkindness, but more specifically, it is covenant kindness; kindness rooted in covenant, not in merit. The example of David and Jonathan’s son, Mephibosheth, gives us a clear and practical picture of how covenant mercy works (2 Samuel 9).

Long after Jonathan’s death and well into his reign as king, David was moved by the covenant he had made with Jonathan. He asked a deliberate question: *“…Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?”* (2 Samuel 9:1).

David wasn’t asking if there was someone he could merely acknowledge. The word *“shew”* used means to demonstrate. David was looking for someone to whom he could practically and visibly demonstrate covenant kindness. In fact, in the 3rd verse, David called it the *“kindness of God.”* How profound!

Mephibosheth was lame in both feet and practically abandoned and forgotten by most. However, he was summoned to the king’s presence. But when he came before David, he fell on his face in fear. He expected judgment from the king who had succeeded his grandfather, King Saul.

But David’s first words were *“Fear not”;* that’s always the language of mercy. David restored to him all the land that had belonged to Saul and then offered him something greater still: a permanent place at the king’s table. This was covenant kindness, which David called *“the kindness of God.”*

Why did he call it the kindness of God? It’s because covenant kindness is shown toward someone who has no merit or claim to it. That person doesn’t qualify. True mercy flows from the greater to the lesser. By virtue of that mercy, the one with nothing is brought into royalty, lifted, honoured, and seated at the table, just as we are today seated together with Christ. This is the transforming power of covenant kindness.

It reminds of the Scripture: *“He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory...”* (1 Samuel 2:8). Perhaps there’s someone coming to your spirit even now that requires your covenant kindness; go ahead and show that one the kindness of God.

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, I thank you for your covenant kindness and mercy toward me. I receive your lovingkindness with understanding and gratitude. I live in the consciousness of your mercy, enjoying the life of honour, fellowship and provision that you have brought me into, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Psalm 36:7* How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

*Isaiah 54:10 NKJV* For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

*2 Samuel 9:5-8* Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar. *6* Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant! *7* And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually. *8* And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
