Why does worry shout so loudly for our attention? Because if we look at it long enough, it will gain our trust. Pretty soon we begin praying out of fear and eventually we quit praying and start looking for sympathy. We have trusted that other voice and it won the affections of our heart.
We must get our minds set on spiritual things because as long as we fill our minds with what’s happening in the natural, we restrict our effectiveness. We may rise up now and then and score a victory with the gift of faith, but we won’t have the continual influence of Kingdom transformation flowing through us.
