Small keys unlock big truths.
Take your car key out your pocket. Go ahead, do it. Look at it. Ask yourself: What can this key do for me? Some of your answers may be: Unlock my car. Start my engine. Arm my car’s alarm. All of these are correct. But there is more! That key can take you somewhere like New York or California! (Without that key you’re going nowhere!) That key can make you a lot of money since you’re car takes you to a job or maybe it is your job!
Your thoughts can be like that car key. They can be helpful for the obvious reasons like reminding you of something important. Or they can also be opening new ideas or concepts to greater things for you! Every life-changing product or organization started with a thought in a person’s mind.
Thomas Edison said: From his neck down a man is worth a couple of dollars a day, from his neck up he is worth anything that his brain can produce.
People often forget that God speaks to us in our minds. And according to 1 Kings He speaks to us in a still small voice. I wonder how many great ideas have been ignored as silly little thoughts!
Of course not every thought is from God or contains the next big thing but maybe it’s time for you to unshackle your minds. Ask God to speak to you and allow your thoughts to be a force for good in your life. He knows you through and through and will speak to you in a language you can understand.
Thinking God-thoughts are harder than it seems! His Word and His will must be at the front of your thinking. Concentration is necessary. But you can do it.
Don’t just daydream, THINK!
What thoughts have become reality for you?
great thoughts. Pastor Nacho is currently doing a series on the whisper led life. Im learning more than ever that God speaks in a lot of different places. Sometimes we can think he only speaks to us at church functions. I think we know he can speak anywhere, but we can forget. but I’m learning to fine tune that voice in everyday situations and encounters with people.
thank you Pastor Tom!
Hi Woody,
Love the concept: the Whisper Led Life! I also like your statement about “fine tuning”. Keep up the good work.
Pastor Tom
The thought that tell’s me to keep my mouth shut has kept me out of trouble at times. After all is said and done I’m glad I did. I liked the quote from Edison. As for forethought, it has helped situations I was in go ‘smoother’ because I considered things before I actually arrived there. Sometimes we have to think on the ‘fly’, but when the time permits to ‘consider’ things ahead of time, the result is usually good.
Thanks Pastor Tom!!
