We need to keep our minds on Heavenly things for Romans \u00a08:6 says, “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” \u00a0We should do our best to follow God and not be influenced by our sinful nature.\u00a0 Our minds can be weak and sinful but God has great plans for us so we should not follow our sinful flesh but obey the\u00a0Holy Spirit.\u00a0 In Jeremiah 29:11 God declares that He knows the plans he has for us, God says that He plans to prosper us. \u00a0Which means that God plans for us to do well and make the most out of our lives.\u00a0 Oftentimes we are hindered from God by our sin. \u00a0Sin separates us from God but it is Jesus Christ that connects us to the grace of God. \u00a0God has promised that he will supply all of our needs according to His riches as stated in Philippines 4:9, “God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” \u00a0This means that whatever we ask in faith we will receive. \u00a0Does this mean that if we ask for a new car we will receive it? \u00a0No, not necessarily. God expects us to use wise judgement in our asking. \u00a0God wants us to lift up our needs to Him in prayer and not necessary materialistic needs but needs of the heart. \u00a0God desires to have a personal relationship with each and everyone of us. God has offered to give us what we need to maintain that relationship with Him. \u00a0For instance if God asks us to preach God will help by giving us the skills to preach, if God asks us to be a missionary He will help by supplying us with our needs if we go to Him in prayer. \u00a0 We should do all things giving thanks to the Lord Jesus and giving Him the glory and believing His promises.\u00a0 Romans 4:21 says, “what he had promised, he was also able to perform.” \u00a0So this means that God will stick to His promises meaning that He will never act outside of His character. \u00a0Jesus will always stick to His word and keep His promises. \u00a0God is always faithful even when we are not God remains faithful according to 2 Timothy 2:13, “If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” \u00a0Seeing that God remains faithful even when we are not is ultimate proof of the love of God. \u00a0No matter how we behave we are still God’s children and He loves us very much and cares deeply about each and every one of us, He is a good God and desires the best for us in our lives.
