People are created in the image of God; therefore, we were created to “think.” So, it's important to remember that, apart from God’s Spirit, we aren’t able to think like God.  

We are human beings, living in a fallen world. Many of our thoughts are formed from our own desires, opinions, and dreams. God’s thoughts are always formed from his perfection. 

God is not capable of a wrong or selfish thought. Paul taught the early Christians that even as they had thoughts no one knew except themselves, so God has thoughts that no one but the Spirit can comprehend. And Christians have been given the Spirit of God. We won’t think like God, but the Holy Spirit within us will think as God.  

Every day we will have thousands of thoughts, and some of those thoughts will be authored or inspired by the Holy Spirit. God wants us to have his perspective, his priorities, and his plan. We can trust that the Holy Spirit will be directing us through our thoughts. We need “only listen” to our thoughts and pray for the spiritual discernment to distinguish those which are authored by God. “No one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” 

Pause to consider the fact that you have been given his Spirit. You will have God thoughts every day. What did the Lord’s Spirit say today? You can trust that he will speak to you tomorrow. 

Allow the word of Christ to dwell in you richly. Christ’s words are the thoughts of God, inspired by the Spirit of God, so the children of God can comprehend the presence of God’s thoughts in their daily lives. We can know what God is thinking through his Holy Spirit!
