Wise Thoughts!

Thought For Today – January 7
Wise Thoughts!  -  By Robert A. Searles
       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.

     “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.
