Sometimes, we get so used to our unhealthy ways that we have a hard time recognizing them. We don't even realize that we are having negative attitudes or murmuring and complaining about what is going on in our lives. But even though you might not recognize a wrong perspective, you may recognize that you are getting weaker or more tired. You may recognize that things are becoming more difficult. Life just seems heavier because you are trying to do things in your own strength.
Anytime you begin to see that you are doing things in your own strength, that's when it's time to stop and immediately go to God. And many people do turn to God in their time of need; but oftentimes, we go to God with our problems instead of going to Him with our praise. I believe God is saying today, "I want a new standard to come up in my people." I believe God wants us to know that no matter what is happening in our lives, He is bigger. I believe He wants us to come to Him with our praise and thanksgiving knowing that He is at work. He wants us to come with boldness knowing that we will find everything we need in Him. Don't give praise to your situation by talking about, give praise to God by talking about how great He is and know that your praise is making a difference!
This year has been the year of the shift. I believe there are some things God wants to finish up before the year is over. He wants next year to be better than this year. The Holy Spirit wants to rearrange your thoughts as you shift your perspective toward heaven.
Remember, anytime you feel weak, that's when you know you have to change your perspective. Don't waste another second feeling defeated when you are more than a conqueror in Him!
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2, KJV)
