I want to close our two weeks on thoughts with two passages that I have found to be profound.
Proverbs 15:14 “A wise person is hungry for truth, while the fool feeds on trash.”
If we are to become wise in thought we will seek out thoughts of truth, honor, righteousness, purity, love, admiration, excellence, and things that are praise worthy.
If we feed on trash (thoughts in the flesh), we are fools. In other words if we spend only 10 minutes flying through the word of God and spend the remaining 23 hours and 50 minutes filling our thoughts with the world’s garbage-We are fools!
Passage 2-“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered-how fleeting my life is.” Psalm 39:4
Being that our time here on earth is so brief we must not waste any time being concerned about worldly things. We must take every thought and place it on Heaven and on those who are lost, widowed, poor, and broken.
We like David need to cry out to the Lord asking Him to remind us just how brief our time here is, and start putting our thoughts and attention on Christ.
Prayer: Lord knowing how brief my time is help me to use every thought, every action, every word, to glorify You, to encourage my brothers and sisters, and to share the joy of heaven that awaits us. May I not waste my time fixated on myself, or the things that I have no control over. Amen
