Thought For Today – February 19
Wise Thoughts!
What do we think about throughout
the day? What do we think about ourselves? What do we think about
others? What do we think and meditate about God? We are instructed
by God not to think of ourselves and others more highly than we ought
to think.
Our first thoughts ought to be of
God, and our meditations ought to be of him and of his majestic glory
over all things. “Know therefore this day, and consider in thine
heart, that the Lord, he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth
beneath. There is none else.” Deut 4: 39.
“For I say, through the grace
given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of
himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as
God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” Romans 12: 3.
Think of the loving kindness of
the Lord, and the daily graces he bestows upon us.
“We have thought of thy loving
kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.” Psalm 48: 9.
When we see ourselves as God sees
us, and meditate on our own ways, and find ourselves to be wanting,
we need to turn our thoughts to the ways of God and his testimonies.
“I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.”
Psalm 119: 59.
“The thoughts of the righteous
are right, but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.” Prov 12:5.
Our thoughts ought to be focused
upon truth, honesty, purity, justice, and all that is beautiful and
good. "Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these
things.” Phil 4:8.
