Only God can make our hearts rejoice in the truth and make our minds embrace the truth. Only God can give us the power to rightly apply His truth to our lives and live it out in a joyfully consistent manner. There are no more enjoyable thoughts than those centered on God. There are no greater exercises of the mind than meditations upon the awesome truths as revealed in His Word and His world. So let us be people who pray for wisdom as we seek to love God with our minds. May we not shrink back from treasures that are not easily discovered. May our conversations be flavored with the beauties and perfections of God. May we not be like the fool who is "wise in his own eyes" (Prov. 3:7).
"Wise and gracious Father, help us break free of this foolish inclination to lean on our own understanding. In You alone we place our trust! Only You can make straight our paths and keep our footing sure. Help us as your people be drawn close to You by the knowledge we have of You. Amen."
Taking every thought captive for His glory,
Pastor Joey
