Kingdom Mindset
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14)
Do you desire God’s blessings in your life? If so, what is the number one thing that you desire of God today? Ask Him. Too often, the child of God discards thoughts and ideas because they are deemed too ridiculous and silly to ask God. But He says in His word “whatever.” God can use whatever you ask of Him to draw you into His presence and to know Him. His response may reveal a sin that is hiding us in fear, as it did for Adam and Eve in the garden (Gen 3:10). Or His response may reveal the true sincerity of our heart, as Jesus did for the young man who asked Jesus “what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life?” (Mt 19:16). Jesus gave him a sufficient response to that which the young man asked. However, the young man walked away from Jesus sorrowful and disappointed because of the perceived cost to himself. My friend, God truly wants to pour into your life His eternal blessing so much so that you will overflow with His goodness. Develop a kingdom mindset to ask and receive the things of God. “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart” (Ps 37:4). In the word of God and time in His word, God reveals His heart, His desire, His activity, His character, the manner and method of His blessings, are just a few things that await you. God reveals Himself to us that we may know Him, delight in Him and join Him in His daily activities in and around our lives. God desires to bless you as His child that you may experience Him, enjoy Him, and extend His goodness to others. His blessings are far greater and grander than we could ever think or imagine. Today, your loving heavenly Father awaits to hear you ask. Come to Him and “let your requests be known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:6-7). Father, thank You for hearing our requests. Guide us to develop a kingdom mindset for the things of God “that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” In the blessed and holy Name of Jesus. Amen.
