As a man thinketh
How do you see yourself?
Dear Sibling,
Do you believe what God says about you? If you do, do you act on it?
It’s one thing to hear God’s word concerning you. It’s another to let it shape your identity, your decisions, and your future.
Let’s look at this story.
Once upon a time, the Great God, according to the plan He made long ago, acted on behalf of His people; the Children of Israel who had been held captive in Egypt for 400 years. In a bid to convince them and their oppressor, He performed countless signs through the hands of His servants Moses and Aaron.
For generations, they passed these stories down, not just as history, but as a reminder of their journey with the Almighty.
After they had settled in the land God had promised through Abraham, King David wrote in Psalm 78:41:
“Yes, again and again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.”
How is it possible to limit the Great God?
You might ask, “Didn't God do exactly what He planned?”
But their journey through the wilderness reveals something deeper.
God was raising a people who believed Him, but they were still trapped by the mentality of slavery they had once known. All that He did in their midst did not in any way break that mental slavery that had bounded them.
Their experiences had crippled them, and though they were free physically, their hearts were still bound. And despite what God did, that was what shaped their experience.
Could it be possible that in a way, you have also allowed other things shape you? Maybe your experiences? And despite the things God is telling you or even doing, you’re
For anything God wants to do with us, partnership is key. And partnership is never passive.
According to science, we have five senses. But for the man of the Spirit, there is a sixth — not the “suspicion” kind we joke about with African mothers, but a holy one:
A renewed heart and mind.
This sixth sense is as important as your eyes.
It is your MIND — or better yet, your HEART.
And Scripture says:
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7
God has thoughts concerning you, do you know those thoughts, do you believe those thoughts?
You may believe in God, but do you believe God about you?
Because you will eventually act on how you perceive yourself. And God’s thoughts are not just compliments, they are a lens. A way for you to see yourself clearly.
When you don’t, you limit Him.
Dear Sibling,
Pride is refusing to call yourself what God has already called you.
This is what God is saying to you in this season:
“You are limiting what I want to do because you’re not seeing yourself through My lens — but through the crooked lens of experience, fear, and maybe even past mistakes.”
How do you fix your vision?
Rest in God — and let Him correct your blurry lens.
Stay in His Word — and let it transform your thinking.
Refuse to be held back by what the past says about you.
The promised land requires more than walking — it requires believing.
And belief begins with how you see — not just God, but yourself.
So today, choose God’s lens.
You are who He says you are.
