THE MAIN THEME: WHEN DO I GET THERE?

TITLE: THE SUPER THOUGHT PROCESS

 The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 1 John 4:1 (NIV)

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Devotional:

Whatever we believe about anything, starts first as information- something we hear or read, and over time we find ourselves developing strong convictions on the topic and form our opinions on the subject matter.

Our bible verse today is one of several scriptures that tells us to critically examine what we hear, so that we don’t end up believing and acting on a lie. In our quest to achieve whatever we set out to achieve, we will intentionally or unintentionally come in contact with information, some of which will be helpful while others will not be so helpful. Some information may have proved useful for others in the same situation but may not be relevant to us.

Our call today is to be proactive, rather than simply consuming information, let’s critically review and ascertain if what we have been told or what we have read has passed the test according to Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Here are a few reflective questions:

• What can I do to ensure I have vetted the information I receive, especially concerning an important matter?
• Who do I have in my life that I can run an idea or a piece of controversial information with for a second opinion?

 Let Us Pray:

Dear God, help me apply wisdom as I consider my options each day, so that in all things at all times, I will bring glory to your name in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• God knows when I will get there.
• I have a good thought process.
• I make the right decisions with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
