As I’ve pointed out elsewhere, kingdom citizens don’t think, react, or live like the world. However, it’s essential that we are continually reminded about who we are and the kingdom to which we belong.
This year, I created 6 spiritual affirmations that I currently read every morning.
These affirmations ground and center me as a kingdom citizen at the start of each day. I even printed out several copies to place in different parts of my home, just to “refresh” my mind in the afternoons and evenings.
They are:
1) Let go of how life ought to be and find joy somewhere in whatever your life currently is.
2) Ruthlessly eliminate all expectations of how your day should be.
3) Receive everything that happens today as passing through God’s sovereign hands before it gets to you.
4) All things that take place today — including the irritations and disappointments — will work together for your good. Romans 8:28 is still in the Bible.
5) You can’t control what others do, but you can control what you do and how you react.
6) Shift the responsibility on God to change the things you cannot. It’s His worry, not yours. 1 Peter 5:7 is still in the Bible.
Feel free to use these yourself. Or adjust as you see fit.
The Bible talks an awful lot about “renewing” our minds. Affirmations like these are part of that renewal process.
And no matter how seasoned a person is in the kingdom, we’re never beyond being reminded of who we are and where our allegiance lies.
DON’T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE INSURGENCE PODCAST – it’s just another way of being reminded as well as being equipped.
If you find it valuable, share it with your friends.
