The Foggy Mirror

Read:

14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:
16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

One day I was driving down the road and looked into my side view mirror. It looked really foggy and for a moment I thought that my car was smoking, but realized as I looked closely at the mirror, it was just needing to be cleaned. How many times do we look at things that are not really there? We see things that maybe the enemy put before us, our own natural ways of thinking, or how even preachers in the pulpit portray our perspective of how we should see ourselves in Christ Jesus. God wants us to see ourselves in Him as righteous by the blood of Christ, above and not beneath, and having the power to overcome the flesh by walking with a revelation of who we are in Him. I want us to see things in a different light today. Let's see ourselves how God really sees us, and lets realize that we have the very mind of Christ to discern and know God's love for us. You may see alot of smoke in your side view mirror today. It could be alot of smoke from your past failures, or it could be how the enemy wants you to look at things. Remember, the past is the past and we need not look at the things that have been put under Christ' blood.

prayer:

Lord, we come to you in you mighty name and ask that you give us a fresh perspective of how you really see us. Let your spirit quicken us today to see how you see, and to have your eyes to help those in need, Amen.
