Bills. Work. Uncontrollable circumstances. How do you think about these things? Our emotions don’t have the ability to think - they only respond. Feelings often hijack the emotional thinker because what is seen seems more real than any invisible reality. The five senses dictate to us and give us a subjective disposition of fear, loneliness, and pride. Thinking according to results, possibilities, and opportunities often steer this kind of person into sporadic behavior and a driving state of mind. Often reaction and spouts of anger when crossed, and an over-active brain that can’t be slowed down - not to mention troubled sleep patterns - are the result of not thinking with God.
God has designed us not to react but to act with Him. We have no idea what we need and we certainly can not discern it within ourselves. We must enter into radical reliance on Christ. To think right we must have the saturation of God's right thinking otherwise temporal stimuli will run us over. Reading the Bible and investing a clear sound of truth keeps the emotions appreciating the right things, leading us by still waters and green pastures.
Applying the blood to our memory center prevents the past from dismantling the present. Take the time to fill your heart and mind with God's absolute promise otherwise an empty heart produces an empty head. 1 Cor 13:5 "Love thinks no evil" an all knowing, all powerful, and all present God can't think evil but dwells in the realm of absolute love. Jesus fellowships with His father's heart and His love goes beyond all knowledge, entering into the realm of absolutes for us and to us. What is on your mind?
