May I submit to you the question... What is on your mind? Because you see, what is on your mind will determine what you do, what you say, what you act upon and what you respond to. I'm not trying to sound preachy or mimic any body's thoughts, ideals or revelations. This is more of a mirage of a collection of words heard and experiences from even my own path of life that I am gingerly walking as I type.
I've come to discover that what ever has been on my mind has become what I react or respond with when faced with the problems and obstacles of life. When I ask "What is on your mind," think more of the question than to just dwell on positive confessions. Because lets face it and be honest with ourselves, when the money is tight and bills keep piling up, you don't know if you'll even have enough gas money to get to work to make the money and you have a whole week til your next paycheck, groceries are scarce with a fierce appetite, positive confession might not even surface. But it is in those times that what you believe God to be, a way maker, a provider, someone who helps you keep your very sanity, that you will begin to find out whats REALLY on your mind. Because when your focus is God, you can be homeless with being a Home Owner on your mind. You can be broke with the Forbes list on your mind. And please, don't get it twisted. Having a relationship with God is much more than materialistic reaping, but its the mindset that's the focus. Having the right mind will cause you to display somewhat of a grit, the ability to move forward one step at a time when faced with the depressing vicissitudes of life.
I know that this is not a spiritual blog.... wait... this MY BLOG right?! I don't have to be politically correct :-)... The Bible says in Philippians 4:8 - "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you." ENOUGH SAID...
SO TELL ME... WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?!
And as always.. "If you think its wrong, Don't Do It!, If you know its wrong, Don't Do It!, If you cant do it in Heaven, Don't Do It on Earth! And where you see the light, Walk Therein!" - Pastor Roderick L. Hennings
