God
thinking pro-actively seeks out (within yourself) every message -
every belief - every tenet of faith - every thought that is not sanctioned by
God and replaces every message - every belief - every tenet of faith - every
thought, by faith, with God ordained thoughts.
Ex: You are driving down the road and the person in front of you puts on their right
blinker and then makes a left turn. You have already begun to veer to the left and you are forced to make a quick
decision, which you do, and you just barely avoid an accident.
There are
many ways to handle this incident.
You could
quickly and without forethought conclude
that the driver in front of you is an idiot.
Under your breath or outwardly you rail on them with indignation. Name calling is a popular way to vent our
displeasure. And depending on the
situation a quick hand signal might be in order.
Most of
us that respond this way, do so by default.
It’s not that we really mean the things we say. But it is accepted and even popular to
respond this way in our culture.
God
thinking deals with this situation a little differently.
First,
God thinking requires that you take responsibility for your part in the
incident. You may have been driving too
fast or not paying attention at the moment.
Third, Hurling
negative remarks at others embeds those negative remarks within you, as well as
the one you railed at.
Fourth, No one
benefits.
Fifth, All of
us occasionally make mistakes.
God
thinking first calls on God to intervene if it looks like the situation might be beyond your control.
- You might pray a thanksgiving prayer, thanking God for protecting you.
- You can intercede for the other driver, even if they are at fault, and ask God to help them to be more careful.
- You can pray that we don’t do what they just did.
