Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:23 (AMP)
Before you can experience change, you need to believe it on the inside.
Have you ever known someone with the “Midas touch”? Finances seem to come easy to them and opportunities are always coming their way. Or maybe you know people who seem to form relationships easily. Everywhere they go, they meet people and create great friendships.
What’s going on with people like this? Are they just luckier? No, it’s because they see themselves a certain way. They’ve developed an inner belief—either through their upbringing, by accident or intentionally—and that belief regularly connects them to the right people, the best deals or the best friends. While it’s true that these people have also developed skill in the areas of finances or relationships, they are successful because of the beliefs they hold inside.
So, what can we do if we didn’t grow up learning these things about ourselves and the world?
We can develop the right internal beliefs by getting God’s promises inside us! When we do, things begin to change. Out of those heart beliefs flow the forces of life, says today’s verse, which means that our new, biblically-based beliefs can cause more of God’s promises to flow into our lives.
What do you want more of in your life? Do the work of getting God’s promises inside by studying His Word, meditating on His promises and claiming them in your life. Over time, you will begin to see yourself and the world differently, and His promises will begin to be manifested in your life naturally.
