More musings about thoughts. I think a lot about thoughts, spending time thinking about thoughts.. hmmm interesting.
So, what if my thoughts are God's way of directly speaking to me. His direct line of communication to my mind or heart - depending on where the thoughts resonate. Well maybe the God thoughts resonate in the heart and the human thoughts resonate in the mind. The human thoughts in the mind bring us stress, worry, anxiety day in and day out. Funny thing though - many devout Christians are stressed with worry, and I'm no exception. Why is that? Shouldn't we be different than the rest of the human race?
Ok - for an experiment, I'll monitor where my thoughts come from. Actually - I've already been doing this. When I get the thought to go here or there, do this or that - if I just do it then I'm following the lead and I'm rarely stressed. I'm simply living in the moment, doing what I've been asked to do that exact moment, and not borrowing trouble from tomorrow. If I begin to think that costs money, how am I going to make that work, it sounds silly or crazy, I'm too tired, I'm not smart enough, I'm not brave enough, my house is too messy, my kids are too noisy, people will look at me funny, on and on and on and on and on and on. Then I wonder why God didn't help me with the stress! Why didn't he make it clearer to me what I should do? Well maybe he actually did - but I thought my way out of it.
