WHERE I FIND UNDERSTANDING

IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE FILTER

If we only learn to listen, instead of just hearing what people say through the filter of our "Stinkin Thinkin"

WHEN I DARE TO BELIEVE

DELETE THE "ME"!

EATING ON THE RUN

Let me begin by saying that, "busyness" is one of the thugs I contend with on a regular basis. It threatens the time I spend tending to my spiritual disciplines.

Because of time constraints, it is inevitable that we may find ourselves having to study and meditate on the scriptures while we're "on the move".

A habit of "eating on the run" is not spiritually healthy at all, but there are times we may have to get the Word of God in, whenever and however, we can get it in. 

Here are some tips to consider:

1. Be mindful of your portions. Focus on small portions of scriptures or readings. We can only digest a certain amount of truth at a time.  Remember, we are called to study the Scripture, not to just read it, we study to get the understanding of what's said!
2. Be careful where you eat. Too many of us depend too much on others to do our studying for us. We must be mindful of how the Word was prepared. If we're not, this can lead to deception. Take the time to check the scriptures for yourself! Be sure wherever your getting fed, your being fed truth.
3. Choose from the menu wisely. Whether the Word is preached or written, we have many options to select from. Be led of the Holy Spirit for what He intends to teach for the moment. Whether milk,  meat, sweet or sour, it is all good, but it needs to be consumed in the correct proportion.

HIGHER LEARNING

Common sense can never supercede God's log.

Common sense is natural knowledge, God's logic is spiritual.

1 Corinthians 2:13-16 NLT
When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. For, "Who can know the Lord's thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?" But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.
