    Philippians 3:11-14 NIV

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

    Philippians 2:3-5 NIV
    3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.

    If you want to flourish in God’s universe, always choose humility. 
    Here’s how Paul defines humility. 
     
    1Not using others to bring a sense of value and significance to yourself. Rather, humility wants to show other people their value.
     
    2Not using others to advance your own interests. Rather, humility cares first about the interests/needs/story of others.
     
    3And what will always ruin relationships is selfish ambition and trying to bring recognition and glory to yourself. 
     
    But all this is impossible if we don’t have the sense of our value and significance and future glory that’s already ours in the gospel of Christ. When we believe/trust the gospel, we don’t have to use others to get what we already have. We’re freed to be humble.

    Imagination is your mind’s God-given ability to form powerful images of things not physically seen. It’s part of being created in the image of God. Remember in the first chapter of the Bible we see over and over how God first imagined (let there be) and then it was so. 

    If you lay in bed at night and think about having a conflict with someone, your imagination will make your body prepare for a conflict. That’s its power. Your body will believe the real and the unreal just as quickly, depending on what your imagination is focused on. 

    That’s why our imagination can be a tool of our spiritual enemy to deceive us. Often the devil’s slander happens in our mind through our imagination. When we ruminate on past offenses against us. Or ruminate on our shame. Or we imagine a future where God cannot be trusted.

    But also our biblically guided imagination can be a powerful weapon in our spiritual warfare. 
    Our mind operates primarily through images. And so does the Bible. So much of the Bible gives us imagination more than information. 

    Our biblically guided imagination allows us to enter into an experience of God rather than just intellectual knowledge. A great example of this is what David writes in Psalm 16:8-9.

    Psalms 16:8-9 (NIV)
    8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD.
    With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
    9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure.

    Today you can envision and embrace the joy, thankfulness, and security of “seeing” God’s near presence.

    Psalm 46:10 (NIV) 
    “He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God.’”

    The verb in the ancient Hebrew (that this was originally written in) for “be still” can also be translated as, “let go; relax; let drop.” We can let go of our tension and self-guarding in our body when we remember to “know” what it means that God is God.

    Psalm 37:7 (NIV) 
    “Be still before the LORD.”

    “LORD” in all uppercase letters in our English Bibles indicates that in Hebrew God’s name, Yahweh, is used (for example, Exodus 3:14-15; Isaiah 42:8). Yahweh is the ancient Hebrew verb form for “HE IS.” God’s name, Yahweh, is used more than any other term for God in the Hebrew scriptures. More than “God” is used. 

    When we survey the various truths associated with God’s name, HE IS, in the Hebrew scriptures (what we call the Old Testament), four important aspects of God are emphasized. 

    HE IS the Creator and Sustainer of ALL that exists, including this entire universe (Ps 33:6; Isa 40:26; Isa 42:5; Isa 44:24). 

    HE IS the Giver and Sustainer of ALL life everywhere always (Num 27:16; Job 12:10; Acts 17:25).

    HE IS eternal and forever God (Isa 40:28; Isa 57:15)

    HE IS ALWAYS infinitely 100% present with you and in control of everything in your life at every moment (Ps 31:14-15; without being any less present or focused anywhere else in the universe, because HE IS infinite). See Jesus’s words in Matthew 10:29-31.

    We often meditate on God‘s name in this podcast because it is the key to experiencing God as HE IS. God’s name is filled with wonder and mystery and transcendence for us to meditate on using our biblically guided imagination.

    So imagine – envision – this reality. He is the Source of all being; he is the Giver of your life and sustains your life at every moment; he is the one who “inhabits eternity” (Isaiah 57:15), and so has the eternal perspective in all your life’s circumstances; and he is infinitely, intimately, 100% present with you at every moment and in control of every circumstance in your life.
