What do you think about?

"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."

I am a thinker, I am constantly thinking about something. At times my thoughts can become so consuming they drive me CRAZY! 

I must say it can get so bad at times that I begin thinking about what I am thinking about and I begin analyzing every thought. How crazy is that?

I do this especially when it comes to studying the word of God. 

If you don't now this about me-I LOVE studying God's word! If I could, I would be a forever lifelong student of God's word. I mean like the type of student that does nothing but study His word ALL day everyday. I love the deep theological stuff!!! 

I must add that was one of my favorite things about Brother Collins was how deep he would get in God's word. I see that in his grandson Ryan when I hear him preach! 

I will confess reading and studying the word is probably my hobby! 

But God does not want me to just sit isolated forever studying His word. He wants me to go out and share that word and live out that word. 

And boy do I love TALKING about Jesus-I think it drives my family crazy but I think they secretly like to do it too. 

So how do I overcome analyzing every thought when study? Well for a while, God love Him, I would call the MOST amazing mentor- Brother Tilley and we would chat, email, or set up meetings just to talk about those thoughts of Gods word that I was thinking about. 

Those are great times because He knows Him some Jesus, and He just so happens to be madly in love with Jesus and His word.

Do you know that it has taken me awhile to learn that it is okay to be consumed with thoughts of God's word? I mean brethren He did give us 66 books didn't He? 

He even made it to where each passage has a cross reference so we can analyze and know His word even more.

Isn't that so great? Do you know what else is great?  The more I hide His word in my heart and the more I am thinking about His word, means the more His word is entering every part of me making me become more and more like Him. That's great stuff!

So tell me brethren, what do you think about? 

Lord Jesus consume our thoughts. We want to think more about You and serving You than we think about anything else. Amen
