What are You Thinking?
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 at 05:00AM What are you thinking? Was God on your mind just now?
Depending on your circumstance, ask yourself one or more variations of this question today: How would my schoolwork/my job/my marriage/my family suffer if I spent as little time serving it in thought and deed as I spend on God?
Ask yourself, how have I separated myself from God? What did I put ahead of Him yesterday in my mind, and what am I thinking of today more than I'm thinking of Him?
When anything comes before God in our lives, that is separation from Him, and separation from God is the definition of sin because when we separate from Him we are not obeying His will.
If I don't trust God, how can I know His unfailing love for me?
If I don't constantly pray to/converse with/ask questions of God, how will He be able to order my steps?
Unless I wrap myself in His love and hide there, what protection do I have against my enemies?
Unless I surrender to God, what can He teach me?
The first chapter in the book of Psalms tells us joy is the reward for those who take delight in doing God's will and who think about His law day and night. One can only take delight in things one thinks about constantly.
Are you married? Remember when you first fell in love? Did you have to make yourself think about your new sweetheart?
Don't take God for granted and give Him less time even if you have known and loved Him for many years. Your unfaithfulness cheats both God and you.
Don't keep anything or anyone higher in your thoughts than you do God. What are you thinking?

So true, God needs to be above all our thoughts, even when things seem difficult around us. It´s when we focus on Him, that we pull through.
