Our Thoughts

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).

Here is a quote given long ago, but still carrying divine wisdom: “Never take your thoughts to the Word of God. Take your thoughts from the Word of God.”

It has also been said, “Read the Word of God, the Bible, until your mind is so saturated with it that you think in the language of Scripture…Every time you say, ‘I think,’ you think wrongly on every moral or spiritual subject — unless your thoughts are formed by the Word of God.”

So the Apostle Paul in writing to the believers at Corinth said,

“My speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God”
                           (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).

How much does God’s Word form your thoughts?

“For the Word of God is quick, and powerful…and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).
