Choose This Day

The Bible tells us of Rebecca, the wife of Isaac. Now, Isaac was the promised son of Abraham and Sarah. Abraham had been told he would be the father of “many nations” and his descendants would be as “numerous as the stars.”

While it looks like Abraham got off to a slow start with one child, his son Isaac doubled that number. Rebecca was pregnant. Though likely overjoyed, she also knew something was stirring within her that would set in motion something big for her family. She felt a struggle going on inside her.

“Why am I thus?” – Genesis 25:22

This simple question is one we speak every day – “Why do I feel this way?” The Lord’s reply to her is the same as He would say to you and me. “Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels.”– Genesis 25:23

Rebecca was going to give birth to twins – brothers who would be total opposites in every way, especially spiritually. Isn’t that just like us as well? Aren’t there two voices inside us fighting over control of our thoughts and emotions?

In the battle of faith vs. doubt, grab onto the way of thinking that promotes faith. Cast down any cursed thinking. You see, blessings and curses are real. In the battle for your mind, you will only have victory if you speak blessings over yourself, your family, and your situation.

If you want a right mind, submit to God. Tell the devil and his negative way of thinking to pack up and hit the road. Your mental perspective can reveal the very mind of God. This allows you to line up your thinking with His, which is His will for you! Any time you are in synch with His will, you are victorious.
