GRACE FOR THE MOMENT | THE CEO OF HEAVEN

1. Grace for the Moment

a) "Grace for the Moment" is a collection of thoughts that are inspirational. They are intended to encourage, to give hope, and to inspire the viewers.

b) Reading a thought can change the way you think about something.

2. Scripture Verse

i) Proverbs 4:23 New International Version (NIV)

²³ Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it. 

 3. Thoughts

a) God wants you to "think and act like Christ Jesus" (Philippians 2:5). But how? The answer is surprisingly simple. We can be transformed if we make one decision: I will submit my thoughts to the authority of Jesus...

b) Jesus claims to be the CEO of heaven and earth. He has the ultimate say on everything, especially our thoughts. He has more authority, for example, than your parents. Your parents may say you are not good, but Jesus says you are valuable, and He has authority over parents...

c) Jesus also has authority over your ideas. Suppose you have an idea that you want to rob a grocery store. Jesus, however, has made it clear that stealing is wrong. If you have given Him authority over your ideas, then the idea of stealing cannot remain in your thoughts...

d) To have a pure heart, we must submit all thoughts to the authority of Christ. If we are willing to do that, He will change us to be like Him.
