What is on your mind today? Did you wake up thinking about how good God is? How he brought you through yesterday into this new day and blessed you with brand new mercy for today. God is a good God and we have to make sure we are not taking his mercy and grace for granted.
Sometimes in life we can become comfortable and complacent. To be complacent means to be satisfied in your own self-achievements. It is as though we are saying to God we've done enough. We're okay. We have accomplished all that we need to accomplish and we are satisfied.
Aren't you glad Jesus was not a complacent person? Aren't you glad that He didn't stop at the point where he turned the water into wine? Aren't you glad that He said not my will but thy will be done? Aren't you glad that He was not satisfied with self-achievement but He wanted to achieve God's plan and purpose in the earth and He did that all the way to dying on the cross for us.
That is how we need to think. We need to think how God thinks. He thinks with a mindset of love and compassion. He thinks about what we need and He sacrificed His Son to give us what we need. Live your life sacrificially and have a your mind set on God and be determined to fulfill His purpose. Don't be complacent in your own self achievements.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
