Thoughts

Just some verses regarding the thoughts/mind of God. Amazing how God's thoughts are so encompassing and yet He is faithful and continues to reveal His thoughts to His children. He gives us the Holy Spirit and the Bible to be able to know His thoughts. It is empowering when I think about all the tough decisions coming our way. I will be continually praying that I might have the mind of God in all my comings and goings. That I am always looking with the perspective of God. That people, children around me need Him...and that's really all it comes down to. That is our purpose in life. That is the will of God - to point others to the love that Jesus has for them. Something that should be on my mind in all my daily occurances...but to be honest, isn't always...definitely something to think about...especially in my daily struggles of what I want vs. what God wants...

He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn into darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth - the Lord God Almighty is his name.
~Amos 4:13~

Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
~Amos 3:7~

How great are you works, Lord, how profound your thoughts.
~Psalm 92:5~


We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”

the things God has prepared for those who love him—these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?”

But we have the mind of Christ.

~1 Corinthians 2:6-16~
