As he thinks in his heart, so is he.  Proverbs 23:7

Whether we realize it or not, what we think makes a huge difference in what we say or do.  Our thoughts control our actions-what activities and interests we pursue.  Our thoughts control our feelings-how we react or respond to situations.  And finally, the way we think about other people becomes the way we treat other people.

Simply stated, we must choose what we focus our minds on.  There is a saying, ‘garbage in, garbage out.’  When we fix our mind on things that are good and righteous,  good things will come as a result.  When our mind is set upon the wrong things, it changes the way we treat others and navigates our actions in a negative way.

Fix your heart and mind on Jesus and allow Him to guide your thoughts, actions and pursuits!

Dirty Work

How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. Psalm 31: 19-20

A good friend recently approached me about playing bass guitar in a new band he was/is trying to form.  As much as I enjoy playing bass (more like playing 'at' the bass) and would have loved to have been a part of a band, I had to decline due to my schedule being so full.

The more I think about it, I always seem to be ‘busy’, but busy doing what?  If you were raised like me at all, you were probably taught that if you want something, you can achieve or earn it through hard work.  While this may hold true in our professional careers, this could not be further away from how God intends us to live out our Christian faith.

Take for instance the above passage from Psalms…”how great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you?”  There is not one singular mention of all that we as Believers need to do to earn more of God’s goodness.  The passage simply continues with “You lavish it(goodness) on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.”

I may be way off here, but I honestly believe that God wants us to love and focus our hearts and minds on Him.  Regardless, we continue to fill our schedules with all kinds of activities, meetings, appointments, and items with the hopes of being more successful and getting our slice of the pie.  Keep in mind that all good things and blessings flow from our loving Father and there is nothing we can possibly do or work harder to achieve any more or any less from Him.  He loves us all the same, no matter where we are in our walk of faith.

Thanks be to God!!!

Limb By Limb

But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.  They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.  It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.  It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7

Alicia and I have enjoyed working on improving our yard this spring.  Just the other day, I planted several Leyland’s Cypresses and a Weeping Willow in our backyard.  I planted the trees on Good Friday and we had gotten several inches rain the night before here in Knoxville.  The ground was so saturated, it made digging the holes for the trees easy and I didn’t need to water them because there was so much water in the ground.  It got me thinking, just like picking out the right spot for trees to have optimal growth, we too need to plant our roots firmly around God’s Word and will for our lives.

If you are like me, you have no problem turning over the bigger issues to God.  That’s great, but God wants us to trust Him with every detail of our lives.   When we focus on our circumstances, we take our focus off of Jesus Christ.  We must learn to keep our focus on God’s presence at all times, during every circumstance, every moment of the day.

Jesus made the ultimate love sacrifice to save us from certain death and He can be trusted in every facet of our lives!
