STRENGTH FOR TODAY

Switch Over To The Victory Channel
Philippians 4:8
"Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things." (KJV)
It is interesting that our mind will naturally gravitate toward the negative. One study showed how positive and negative memories are handled by different parts of the brain.
A negative memory takes up more space because there is more to process. As a result, we will remember the negative more than the positive.
For a example, a person will remember losing fifty dollars more than they will remember gaining fifty dollars.
Knowing this, we have to be proactive with our thoughts. When negative memories come back to the movie screen of the mind, many people pull up a chair, get some popcorn and watch them all over again.
No, the point is that it is not the only channel. There is another movie playing on a channel that is filled with your accomplishments and victories.
Instead of staying on that negative channel, switch over to your victory channel.
You are not going to move forward into the new things God has in store if you are always replaying the negative things that has happened to you.
Instead learn to change the channel. Meditate on victory and move forward in the victory and blessing God has in store for you!
It's my prayer today that I may realize that,
and choose to set my focus on what I have done in my life.
I choose to change the channel in my mind from defeat to victory.
I set my thoughts on Your love and thank You for Your blessing in every area of my life in Jesus' mighty name.
Amen.
