CAPTURE HIS "THINKINGS"
He made known his ways unto Moses,
his acts unto the children of Israel.
Psalms 103:7
There're certain thoughts I like to
describe as the "thinkings" of God; the
way He reasons. He doesn't think the
way men do, so, it's important to know
how He thinks and why He thinks the
way He does. What are the thoughts
on His mind? Of course, when you look
in the Word of God, you can get the
answer to this question.
For instance, humans think that
morning and evening make one day.
They think the day starts when they
wake up in the morning, and ends
when they go to sleep at night; but
God thinks differently. Every time the
Word of God made direct reference to
a full day, God would always say
"evening and morning." For example,
in Genesis 1:5, God said, "...And the
evening and the morning were the first
day." He doesn't relate from light to
darkness. Rather, He thinks from
darkness into light; from evening into
morning (read Genesis 1:8, 13, 19, 23,
31).
No wonder He says, "But the path of
the just is as the shining light, that
shineth more and more unto the
perfect day" (Proverbs 4:18). Observe
He didn't say, "But the path of the just
is as the shining light, that shineth
more and more from morning into
evening." Men think that the day ends
with evening, but God says, "No; your
day goes into morning!" isn't that
wonderful! He reasons so differently;
and we're the ones who need to come
up to His ways of thinking.
If you're born again, you're born of His
Spirit. Then, the Bible says, "If we live
in the Spirit, let us also walk in the
Spirit" (Galatians 5:25). We're not only
born of the Spirit, but have also been
called to walk in the realms of the
Spirit of God. To do this, we have to be
spiritually minded. Our thinking has to
become the "thinkings" of God; it has
to be on the level of the Word of God,
not on the ordinary plane of life. We
need to learn and meditate on His
Word so that we can capture His
thoughts and His ways of doing things.
1 Corinthians 2:14-16 says, "...we have
the mind of Christ." Therefore, it's
possible for us to reason at the same
frequency with Him.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for flooding
my heart with your divine thoughts, as
I study and meditate on your Word
today. My mind is sanctified to think at
your level, and improve the quality of
my life, as I walk in your ways, with my
spirit conditioned for progress,
prosperity and excellence, in Jesus'
Name. Amen.
