On average, a human being will have more than six thousand thoughts each day. Paul told Timothy to spend a lot of those thoughts focused on God. Almost everything we need for our lives is reachable from a computer keyboard. In many ways, the internet has replaced our need to think. 

Our best decisions require more than information. We need to know what God wants us to do with what we know. Wisdom and understanding are difficult to google. God’s leadership and discernment come from our thoughts and prayers. Paul told Timothy, “Think over what I say.” Paul’s words are considered Scripture today. The teaching in our Bibles is God’s word for our lives. 

When we take the time to think about God’s word, the Lord gives us understanding and discernment about what to do with what we know. And God’s word applies to “everything,” according to Paul. The Lord wants us to make wise choices throughout the day, and we can if we take the time to think about God’s priorities and teaching all day long. 

We have more than six thousand thoughts each day. Thinking takes time. So, when we make time for the God thoughts, God has the opportunity to guide and direct our lives. 

One of the most amazing and humbling realizations is that the God of the universe wants to be involved in our thoughts and lives. Our thoughts about God are numbered, but his thoughts about us are immeasurable. 

The God of the universe is thinking about you right now. 

The Lord gives wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We have daily access to his perfect counsel. How many of your six thousand thoughts will include God’s thoughts tomorrow?
