The Contented Life Daily DevotionalSýnishorn

Do You Want A Higher Life? Think Higher Thoughts!

You might be tempted to think that being content means never wanting to progress or go higher in life, but in reality, contentment always moves you toward excellence and seeking higher ways. In contrast, discontentment can trap you into thinking patterns that limit and even hinder growth and improvement.

Just as our body needs nourishment to keep us healthy and growing, our minds need to feed on the right kinds of thoughts. You may know where to find the best quality organic foods or nutritional supplements for your body, but where do you go for your thought vitamins?

God invites you into His health food store to access His higher thoughts and to discover His mindsets and thinking patterns. As a believer, 1 Corinthians 2:16 says you have been given the “mind of Christ!” As you feed on God’s thoughts through reading and meditating on His Word, they become life to your soul, like a spiritual vitamin.

Nutritionists often say that you must be consistent with your daily supplements and that it may take weeks or even months to see the desired results. Over time, you will also notice that consistently eating healthy foods takes away your cravings for the unhealthy.

Similarly, if you want to see a change in your life for the better, continue exchanging those lower thoughts and ways for God’s ways, which are so much higher! You made it to Day 16 of this 40-day journey; keep going! Keep feeding on the principles and promises of His Word. Dare to fill your mind with His higher thoughts and see if it doesn’t give you the highest, most amazing life.
