The Thoughts of God

/2 Comments/in /by

Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare. (Psalm 40:5)

Annie Johnson Flint has a remarkable story of her love for God and her dedication to live her life for Him during some very difficult times.  I encourage you to read Annie’s story.  Annie did not let the difficult things of life weigh her down.  She did not give up hope, she never gave into circumstances, and she always knew God would see her through.  Her poems can be found at Home Makers Corner .  And her story can be found at the following link Annie’s Biography.  I promise that you will not be disappointed by either links.  I tend to go back to Annie’s poems as often as possible and I am encouraged by her steady stand in the Lord.  She did not waver.  The poem below shares the vast thoughts of God.  I pray it encourages and uplifts you!

How wonderful Thy thought, O God!
Though poor and needy I may be,
How high, how deep, how manifold,
Thy never-ceasing thought of me!

Thou thinkest more than I can know;
Thy gifts transcend my fairest dreams;
Beside the greatest of Thy thoughts
How small mine utmost asking seems!

But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’  (1 Peter 1:15-1)

What’s God doing in your life?

Take a moment to reflect back on the week.  How was God faithful to you this last week?  Did you see Him come through for you?  Is there something new that you learned this last week?  I would love to hear about it!  Drop me a line!

This last week, one thing that God has really placed on my heart is a need to do a little spring cleaning.  I know it’s early, but when I tell you where the cleaning is going to begin…I think you will understand.  I’m going to do a little spring cleaning in the branches of my mind.  I’m sure that sounds comical in some ways.  But honestly, I really want my thoughts to reflect Christ.  I know I can do a lot better than I have done, so I’m going to take the necessary action to do so.  Your welcome to join me!

Thoughts of the Day

In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. (Psalm 10:4)
God is in control of everything.
Nothing happens without Him filtering through it first.
He created us in His image.
We have a spirit, mind, and body.
A mini trinity.
He gave you and me free will.
Why?

God’s Doing the Thinking

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.  As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.  As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth:  It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:8-11)

This is a very packed passage and I pray you find all the meaning in it for your own life, as I unfold the meaning of it in my own life.  I truly enjoy how the beginning starts.  God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways.  Sometimes this is difficult to understand.  Like Ralph Waldo Emerson says, “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”  We would all rather follow the trail that more footsteps have been on, the one that looks a little easier.
