The Beautiful Path

“Oh, that's an ant! I don’t like ants; they’re going to bite me, and it’s going to hurt!”

“No, it’s not going to hurt you. It’s just going on its own, doesn’t even know you’re there.”

This is me and my daughter every time she sees an ant, even the tiniest one on the ground.

She thinks it will hurt her, but I always tell her, “You’re bigger than this ant. You are more dangerous than the ant itself. The ant actually fears you, but you don’t know that yet.”

This is how we react to the situations we face. When confronted with challenges, we think, "This is dangerous. This will be the end of me."

But what if you knew that you are more dangerous than the situation? What if you saw things through the lens of the Spirit, not just your physical eyes?

Our physical eyes see giants, obstacles, and danger. But God says to the mountain, “You will be made as plain.”

You can only overcome situations based on how you see them.

It's all about your position.

I am seated with Christ in the heavenly places, far above principalities and powers.

I have been translated from darkness into the Kingdom of His dear Son.

This positions you to take authority over situations, knowing they are tiny ants that you can crush.

So this week, go with this consciousness. Remind yourself of your position in Christ and conquer that situation.

Hallelujah!
