Understand this: Your finishing strong in every aspect of life, and ultimately in the heavenly journey, is dependent on how positively thoughtful you are. Some people are only negatively thoughtful.
Generally in life, you can’t rise above your thinking-capacity development.
Proverbs 23:7, 28:19, 4:23, 2:10-17 (emphasis on verses 16&17)
Remember, thorough thinking in line with the Word of God brings you into a deep understanding, and thereby produces you with wisdom to guide you through life’s adventures.
-Even in the academic world, a student that is not deeply thoughtful academically can’t be excellent, nor ultimately finish strong academically.
Read Deuteronomy 32:29 again.
Other things thoughtfulness does:
-It brings one into moderacy and humility.
-It helps one cut off extremes of all kinds. 2 Peter 3:8-14
-It helps one retain God’s fear always. Proverbs 2:16. (The woman being referred to here forgets her covenant -fear- of her God, because she is not thoughtful.)
Joseph was a very thoughtful man, the reason why he was able to escape lying with Portiphar’s wife. Joseph said, ‘… how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Genesis 39:9. That’s a thoughtful fellow indeed!
Brethren, let’s learn to be deeply thoughtful in the Lord. That we may constantly retain God’s fear all the days of our life, both in our hearts and minds, and before our faces, as to make our finishing strong in every aspect of life a reality. The Psalmist says, “Thy word have hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee.” Psalm 119:11.
And remember, when we walk in sync with the Holy Spirit, He helps us to be thoughtful in line with God’s Word and brings into our remembrance every word we need to help us constantly enjoy the best of God in our heavenly race. John 14:26.
So, basically, to be thoroughly thoughtful we only need to recognize the Person of the Holy Spirit, and keep a deep fellowship with Him always.
Now unto Him that is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Grace!
