As human beings we get attached. Certain things and certain people get ahold of our heart, and we treasure them. But all of our attachments eventually come to an end except for one–the eternal attachment.

The Bible is the collection of thoughts from God written down by the people who noticed and discerned them. God’s thoughts are higher than human thoughts. They soar far beyond the cognitive knowledge of the mind. God’s thoughts are life-givers and truth-tellers.

God still deposits His thoughts in human hearts, but they mostly slip by unrecognized. Begin to notice and discern God’s thoughts within you. Let them carry, empower, and lift you up day and night.

God’s thoughts are abundant and precious. (Psalm 139:17) They are “thoughts of peace and not of evil” designed to “give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) God’s “thoughts toward us” are “more than can be numbered.” “Declare and speak” them. (Psalm 40:5) God’s thoughts are wise. (Proverbs 2:6) God’s thoughts align with the fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Thoughts from God don’t come from human thinking or reasoning. They come by direct revelation from God. (Matthew 16:17) God is continually giving you thoughts from Him as He seeks to wake you up and show you His never-ending presence and reality. (1 Corinthians 2:9-13)

The thoughts that God deposits in your heart are the pearl of great price. Set aside all distractions. Notice, treasure, and savor the God-breathed thoughts that come to you. Stir them up. Keep them ever burning within you so they can inspire, lead, and direct you in all that you think, speak, and do. Be still and know.

Trust in the Lord, not in your own understanding. Don’t put your trust in horses, or chariots, or religion, or doctrines, or a pastor, or a Christian celebrity. (They will all eventually let you down.) Trust in “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” and His voice speaking in your heart. Discern and confirm His voice by making sure what you hear aligns with Scripture. Then humbly step out and lovingly obey what He says.

“You can all prophesy.” It’s plainly stated in the Bible. Don’t just be a spectator who sits and listens. Speak up and declare what God has said and done in you!

Jesus never said, “Come and take a seat.” He said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16;15)
