Think it through!

There have been many intelligent people in the world. Real thinkers! Men such as Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton and those three Greek philosophers: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, which most of us became somewhat familiar with during grade school.  

Most of us are probably not as smart as these men, but like them we are thinking people!  When we talk about using our head, we are speaking of using logic and reason as a part of our psyche.  That is why when we see a bad call by a coach or ref we become frustrated, or when someone’s inexplicable behavior (not you of course) baffles you!  Thinking: Why can’t ‘they’ just think things through?!

The bigger picture:  This goes for matters of faith as well!  The apostle Paul tells is in 2 Corinthians 5:7 “we are to walk by faith, not by sight.”  Never does Jesus tell us to do whatever comes to mind but rather commands us to ‘take up one’s cross and follow Him’ (Matthew 16:24).  For those who know JESUS - We are to walk by faith, meaning we are to trust God’s promises and character rather than relying on our circumstances or even personal understanding.  We are to prioritize following God’s Word and His Spirit at all times -- be it when times are good or when the path feels uncertain, difficult or contradicts natural desires.  

The mind of the Master should be the master of your mind so that you consider every situation in your life through the critical lens of the mind of Christ. After all God is the true source of wisdom!

God has called you to choose to trust in His character and promises over what your physical senses or immediate circumstances suggest.  Since God is the source of all wisdom, it’s only logical that you encounter Him with your mind and emotions!  Doing so brings Him glory and will serve you well in the long run. 

Think it through!
