How you think and what you think about matters

God is very interested in how we think. King David said in Psalm 139 v2 – You know my thoughts even when I'm far away... such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand."

God appeals to our minds and to our intellect. He is concerned with what we think about.

In Colossians 3:2 Paul writes "Think of the things of heaven, not the things of this earth." In Philippians he writes: "Fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, and right, and pure and lovely and admirable."

God wants to guard our hearts and minds.

He sums it up in Romans 12:2 – "Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think."

God is concerned with how we think.

Such wonderful knowledge!

Equipping the saints: Be ready for today

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I need to be ready for tomorrow," or "I know that God is preparing me today for the future."

But what about today?  All of the experiences, the insights, the wisdom and knowledge you have right now has prepared you for... today.

I remember long conversations with people who are so concerned with discerning God's will for their future, that they miss what He has allowed in their lives that has equipped them to be who they are, and where they are.  They are oblivious of the moment, of the day.

I've talked with people who are so paralyzed by indecision because they fear choosing the wrong path.  If it's the wrong path, then God will make that clear to you as well… and guide you to where He wants you through the decision you made.

Don't be afraid to choose.  Often our faith is proven by the choices we make, and being aware that who we are today is by God's design.
