YOU GIVE BIRTH TO WHAT YOU SEE

Read: GENESIS 30:25-43

Meditation verse:“And when they mated in front of the white-streaked branches, they gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled and spotted” (Genesis 30:39).

Your mind is a dynamic gateway. It is where you feel, think, imagine, and dream. It is the seat of your thoughts and beliefs. What you see and hear influence your thoughts, and your thoughts influence your actions. Your actions determine your outcomes and results.

Jacob’s strategy for building his flock depicts this powerful principle. He had asked Laban, his father in-law, for the livestock that were streaked, speckled and spotted. Whenever the stronger females were ready to mate, he would place the peeled branches marked with white streaks in the watering troughs in front of them. And when they mated in front of the white streaked branches, they gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled and spotted. He did not do this with the weaker females. So, he built a great flock of strong livestock.

There is a connection between your mind and the outcomes you get out of life. Whatever you focus on is conceived in your womb of destiny and later birthed. Whatever you turn your mind to will eventually spur you on to a path of success or defeat.

What is the object of your focus? “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things (Phil 4:8).

Dear Lord, I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of grace. I believe that Jesus died to set me free from my sins. Thank You Jesus for dying to save me.
