Higher Thoughts

Good evening everyone.

I have some thoughts on thoughts tonight…

As he thinks in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7

 7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

 8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55

 9But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

 10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9, 10

 

I heard a story of a businessman who did some work for a royal family of a small country. When the work was done, the king insisted on giving him a gift and wanted him to name it. He finally said, ‘OK, give me a golf club.’ He thought that would be easy enough to ship, etc. After a few weeks, a limo came to his house. The driver was told to take him to his golf club. It came with 18 holes, putting greens and a clubhouse! Higher thoughts…

The Lord wants us to think bigger. We think ‘survive’ but He thinks ‘thrive’. We can only get there by giving up our thoughts and taking His. How? There are a few ways. Reading His words will give you His thoughts. Praying and listening to Him is another way. There is also praying in another tongue. When you do this, you are forsaking your thoughts and speaking the mysteries of God. And the Lord’s thoughts are downloaded straight to your spirit. So then you have a knowing inside.

Then, no matter which way you got that knowing, all you have to do is recognize that voice of peace in you and obey even if it defies logic. Because His thoughts are higher! Way, way higher!! I love you all.
