“People will think what they think, but you know what you know; thus, giving you the advantage.”
I felt it very necessary to reiterate a quote spoken to me by God last week. Many of us go through live bent out of shape because of the thoughts and opinions of others. However, gossip and slander are the way of the world. Just turn on the news, click on any webpage, or stroll pass any conversation, and you’ll notice that consistent talk about someone’s (past, present, future) whereabouts, relationships, wardrobe etc. are always up for discussion.
As we grow closer to God, he begins to more precisely reveal the instructions of our assignment in life. When we decided to then act on these instructions, this is when all hell breaks loose; literally! The enemy sends out his best workers to derail our mission. People that have always “been in our corner”, turn into vicious gossips, critics, and naysayers. Things that were once definite are now being entered into the possibility category. It just seems that when we attempt ascension towards greatness, people pull out all stops in their ploy to dismantle and destroy.
However, these comforting words from the King brought such clarity to my life: “people will think what they think, but you know what you know; thus, giving you the advantage.” It made perfect sense. Why be concerned about a completely separate thought process? Those thoughts, and the conversations that may spawn from them, have absolutely nothing to do with what God spoke to you. So, let people think what they may, but you stay focused on what you know to do. Such revelation has, made the love of God intensified in my life. Thus, instead of griping about falsified he say-she say, I find myself praying for mercy on the offending party’s soul because my God is not mocked, and whatever a man soweth that shall he also reap!
Remember that knowledge is far more powerful than negative thoughts. Keep it moving and stay focused.
Until next time
