We may have recently gotten bad news from our doctor, lost a job, or just realized a loved one has transitioned. When bad news comes, the devil will throw numerous thoughts (firey darts) in our minds. These thoughts paint the worst scenario possible based on the news we just received.
The thoughts may include questions like, will this kill us? How are we going to pay our bills? And how are we going to make it without them?
We can entertain and continue to dwell on those negative thoughts or dwell on God’s word. One option is based in fear because of uncertainty. The other option is based on our faith in God’s promises. One option is solely based on what we see or experience in the natural. The other option is invisible and it’s solely based on our belief in the supernatural.
What will you believe?
When bad news happens, to keep ourselves sane, we must meditate on and speak God’s word. Every time Satan throws a thought in our minds, we must counter those thoughts by speaking God’s word. Stop dwelling on what you’ve seen, heard, or experienced and start dwelling on God’s word instead.
Isaiah 26:3-4 NKJV You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
