I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,
plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
The Jeremiah 29:11 declaration which God made is so powerful. This shows that declarations are a way of establishing things in our lives. His declaration shows how He thinks of us, along with His will and His purpose for our lives.
Thou shall declare a thing and it shall be established.
Job 22:28
What is it you declare and think about your life…family…job…school, etc?
Be positive: declare and think that which will make your future bright. God’s thoughts over us are of good…not of evil; and He declares the same. As we think of ourselves, we, too, should not think that which is evil but only that which is good and declare it. “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Luke 6:45). If we are filled with wrong thoughts then the declarations we speak will be of evil and destruction.
Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders You have done.
The things You planned for us no one can recount to You,
Were I to speak and tell of them, they will be too many to declare.
Psalm 40:5
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God.
How vast is the sum of them.
Psalm 139:17
David came to a point of realizing that in anything and in all things about his life was centered on God and that all things were being managed by God. Let us also align our thoughts with the thoughts God has for us so that we may accomplish His will in our lives.
As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are My ways higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55: 9
Blessed be the Lord who has good thoughts for us and declares them. May we have good thoughts for ourselves, our family and friends and declare good over everything. May we remember this lesson that we need to be thinking and declaring good things.

Dear Lord, we thank You for the word that has come at the right time when we needed it most. Your Word gives us life and teaches us new precepts every day. Thank You for showing us how deep Your love is to a point of thinking and declaring good things (and not evil) over our lives. King of glory, we worship You. May we walk in that grace of thinking and declare good for ourselves, our families, friends and all that concerns us. For with our mouths we shall declare a thing and it shall be established to the glory of Your holy name. Be exalted always, Jehovah. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
