A Word About Life and Things
The Thinker
|
Everything in life begins with a thought. An
architect thinks of a building and then he puts the
design on paper. An Inventor thinks of a new thing
and he starts to build it. Our thoughts are what we
are. They can be good thoughts or evil thoughts.
Many people say that they can multitask. But that is not true. When we do anything we have to focus on that one thing. Yes, we can go from one job to another but we have to change focus to that one thing that we are doing. When we listen to a TV or Radio and then focus on the job that we are doing the background noise fades away. We can only focus on one thing at a time. Some states have passed laws that say we cannot use our hands while talking on our cell phones. But that is not the problem. The problem is that while talking we can lose focus when we are concentrating on our conversation, especially if we are in a heated argument. We lose the focus we need to operate a vehicle. Every sin begins with a thought. We think about the sin before we commit to doing it. Every thing begins with a thought. The wrong thoughts will come, but we do not have to dwell on them. God tells us to think about things that are true, noble, just, pure, and lovely. Think about these things and not the wrong things. God knows our hearts and our thoughts. We are what we think about. ––––––––––––––––––––––––– New King James Version Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he….. New King James Version Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. New King James Version Galatians 6:3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. New King James Version Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. |
