I was thinking this morning about Moses and how he was able to see the glory of God. I am not sure that I really would ever want to be in that place in this life as that is a pretty scary proposition. However, knowing that God’s glory is so awesome is still a great concept to stop and think about sometime today.
Here’s an interesting part of 1 Corinthians that I don’t think I have ever really examined as much as I should.
12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,
“Who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?”But we have the mind of Christ.
Seriously. We have the mind of Christ! That’s pretty amazing. And pretty encouraging as you go about you day. This power is waiting for you to use it. Take advantage of the spirit that is your helper. Let the mind of Christ guide you as you interact with people, solve problems, explore opportunities, endure hardship and experience victories!
I have not been able to create a lot of new content recently, however, that’s not all bad as there are a ton of smart people out there. For instance this little quote I saw yesterday
Today, I am wealthy, not just in $$$. I live in a time/place where there’s no limitation to who I can become and the legacy I can leave.
Ponder that today as you face the obstacles in front of you.
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 New International Version (NIV)
Hey it is Monday and here’s a great thought to get you through the day.
Never stop reciting these teachings. You must think about them night and day so that you will faithfully do everything written in them. Only then will you prosper and succeed.
Joshua 1:8
Think about what you are thinking about today.
Sorry I have not posted the last two mornings. My morning routine has changed tremendously,and I am still working out how to get all of my stuff complete! However, I have to wonder if you even noticed. 🙂
But hey, it’s Friday! Here is a little inspiration from a great basketball coach at UCLA
Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be. -John Wooden
We must never be afraid of failing, but we must be afraid of not constantly making ourselves better and changing. Today, do something to make your future self proud. Keep making yourself better, one step at a time.
22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24 New International Version (NIV)
