God Does Know our Every Thought

God Does Know Our Every Thought


 Matthew 6:30-34

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.


Life is too short, so why should we not think about tomorrow? The Bible didn't say that we shouldn't think about tomorrow, but it did say that we shouldn't worry about tomorrow. The future should not cosume our everyday thoughts. At the same time, we should prepare our souls, and the rest of ourselves, for what is to come. Worrying will not solve the problems that are already there. Life is too short, for we don't know what tomorrow will bring. However, today can be the day for salvation, for helping the kids, etc. Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today.

Matthew 22:36-40
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets

In short, we should love the Lord with every "fiber of our being". These are not suggestions as how we view the Lord. It is commanded that we love the Lord, ourselves, and each other. The Lord died for our sins, and ressurected on the Third day. He forgives our sins. He saves and restores us. He loves us and guides us. He pleads our cases and He never misleads us. How many humans can we say that for?


Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Matthew 15:18-20
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

This could easily be a paraphrase of Proverbs 4:23, which states, "Keep your heart with all dilligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." Defiled hearts and minds are far more dangerous than defiled hands. Sins of the heart and mind are simply that: they are sins. We cannot wash our hearts and minds of our sins. Religion says that good works can save us. Religion, however, cannot close the gulf that separates man and God. Therefore, it cannot save us; only God the Son, Jesus, can.

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

We are to think on life-affirming things such as love, joy, peace, and honesty. Those life-affirming things are things of the Spirit. We are to be lead by the Spirit, not the flesh. Things of the world weigh us down, but things of God lift us up. Allowing those thoughts rob us of the quality of life and stunts our spiritual growth.

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Psalms 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psalms 63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
Psalms 77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
Psalms 119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
Psalms 119:23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
Psalms 119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

We as Christian believers need to spend time meditating and memorizing God's Word. God's Word is knowledge and knowledge is power. Power against the forces of darkness and the ability to answer questions people have about our faith. It is, however, more important to actually live by those words we read, study, and meditate.
