Think

 Happy Sunday!

"So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an OFFERING. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even THINKING. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily RECOGNIZE what he wants from you, and QUICKLY respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you."(Romans 12:1-2 Message).

Have you ever watched something, or heard something and thought, "What were they thinking?"  Of course, we all have.  People do strange things.  Many times without "thinking".  God wants us to think!  He wants us to be alert, and aware.  He has given us His Word, The Holy Bible to help us but sadly many see it as just another book!  ALL of the things we see happening in the world today have been spoken of in the Bible.  Jesus said, "When the Son of Man appears, things will be just as they were when Noah lived."(Matthew 24:37 CEV).

How were things when Noah lived?  Genesis 6:5 says, "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was ONLY EVIL continually."(KJV).  Don't miss this!  Before the Flood, humans were just like the Apostle Paul said they would be in the end times.  2 Timothy 3:1-5 says, "You may as well know this too, Timothy, that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian. For people will love only themselves and their money; they will be proud and boastful, sneering at God, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful to them, and thoroughly bad. They will be hardheaded and never give in to others; they will be constant LIARS and troublemakers and will think nothing of immorality. They will be rough and cruel, and sneer at those who try to be good. They will betray their friends; they will be hotheaded, puffed up with pride, and prefer good times to worshiping God. They will go to church, yes, but they won’t really believe anything they hear. Don’t be taken in by people like that."(Living Bible).

I can't speak for you, but I'm endeavoring to Believe what I hear from the Word of God.  When we truly believe the Word, we will live  it and speak it.  John 14:21 says, "The one who loves Me will do the things I have commanded. My Father loves everyone who loves Me; and I will love you and reveal My heart, will, and nature to you."(Voice).
