Talk to Yourself, Do Not Listen to Yourself

We get in trouble when we begin listening to the muse in our heads. As a human our nature tends to be negative. Part of our survival instincts is to imagine the worst possible scenarios.   That is not all bad, it can protect us from danger and harm.

The downside is if we listen to the negative muse, we can become discouraged and defeated.

Rather than listen to yourself, speak the word of God over your life.

Psalm 1:2-3 says ”But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.“

Mediate on the word of God day and night. Replace the negative muse with God’s word. It is better than positive thinking, it is God thinking.  

David said your fruitfulness and success can be determined by filling your mind with the word of God. You cannot stop the negative thinking, you have to replace negative thoughts with the Bible.

Loving, learning, and living the Word of God is vital for a global worker. When we live in environments hostile to the word of God, it is imperative to continually fill our minds, hearts, and spirits with His promises.  

It was a word from God that called you and it is the word of God that will keep you.

Be a person for the Word.
