The royal mind...
"He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit." - Jeremiah 17:8 ESV
"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me." - John 15:4 ESV
We sometimes seem to cease to bear fruit but we are not the main character of our story. We are supporting characters and God's mind NEVER ceases to bear fruit.
Live there. He knows you and i and loves us in every season... Live there.
"Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?" - Amos 3:3 ESV
We agree to meet... where His words are spoken and The Holy Spirit speaks to us... using His book and people in interesting ways.
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." - Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
Not fear, envy, doubt or hatred... living thoughts of life, hope and future exaltation. 'It is Finished' thoughts.
It is going to get hot and we may feel it but have a place to go where we are insulated... a strong tower where we run to... the royal mind.
