I began today with a little thought from A.W. Tozer. In his devotional thrust he mentions the need to think rightly.
Interestingly, his thoughts headed down a path I should have expected, but almost missed. As a boomer I tend to be caught in rational thought. As post-moderns many are caught in unfocused mystery. Such extremes often leave us wanting to find the radical middle.
Perhaps the in between is thinking God’s thoughts. Which starts with prayer. Uninhibited expressions to God. Unexpected promptings returned by God. A sense that I will intentionally spend the time.
- Spend time lavishly on praise.
- Spend time lavishly on heart searching.
- Spend time lavishly on meditation.
- Spend time lavishly on focusing on Jesus.
- Spend time lavishly on returning a heart that wanders too easily.
- Spend time lavishly on God.
I really can’t express how much I am enjoying reading one of Tozer’s books “The Incredible Christian”. I never realized what a great writer and thinker he was. Usually when reading any theological book I get lost or sleepy but he has such interesting thoughts that are really inspirational, a comfort and a challenge. He must have been quite a contraversal writer in his time.
