When you look in a mirror, what do you see? Of
course, you see yourself. But God does not want you to see yourself in the
natural. You may be sick, weak, broke and depressed, yet God wants you to see
yourself the way He sees you—healed, strong, favored and whole because Christ
is in you (see Colossians 1:27).
God wants you to behold as in a mirror the
glory of His Son who is in you by His Spirit. As you do this, His Word says
that you are being transformed from glory to glory—sick to healed, loser to
winner!
The world may say to you, “It can’t be that
easy. You can’t be transformed just by beholding the glory of Jesus. No, you
must do something about you. If you don’t put in effort, nothing will happen.
If you don’t start making changes, nothing will change.”
But the world will never understand that as
you are beholding the glory of the Lord, who is the successful one in you, you
are being transformed from a failure to a success. And this is not accomplished
by any effort of yours to get ahead in life, but by the Spirit of the Lord (see
Zechariah 4:6)!
As you behold the glory of the Lord who is the
healthy one in your sick body, you are transformed from sickness to health. And
this is not accomplished by any effort of yours to keep fit and eat well, but
by the Spirit of the Lord!
My friend, what can be easier than beholding the beauty of the Son? So stop focusing on yourself and your efforts. Look away from these things and begin to behold the glory of Jesus who is in you right now, and you will begin to behold the miracles that you need! !
