Do you think about what you’re thinking about?
In Psalm 77, the writer wrestles with deep distress—too overwhelmed to even pray.
He remembers “the good old days,” questions if God has forgotten him, and wonders if His promises have permanently failed - yep, he asks that in verse 8!😬
“BUT THEN…”- it is like his thoughts that were running at lightning speed suddenly stop when he utters these two words:
“BUT THEN I recall all you have done, O Lord…”
He begins to remember.
To ponder God’s faithfulness.
And suddenly, the desperation dissipates, and hope begins to rise!
So it made me ponder - what do I allow myself to aimlessly ponder - unbridled thoughts can so often lead to unbridled emotion, especially when they are not aligned with Truth!😳
QUESTION
What are the thoughts running through your mind like a ticker tape?
Are they rooted in regret, fear, or “what ifs”?
Or are they grounded in the unchanging Truth of who God is, what He has done and what He promises YET to do???
Your mind doesn’t have to stay stuck in what WAS or what MIGHT be. You can choose to shift.
May this serve to remind you (as it did me today) to think what you’re thinking about—and turn it toward Truth.
PRAYER
Lord, help me pause and think about what I’m thinking about. When my mind drifts into fear, regret, or hopelessness, lead me back to truth. Remind me of who You are and what You’ve done. Let Your faithfulness silence my doubts and anchor my thoughts in Your Word. In Jesus’ name, amen.
🫶🏼If this encouraged you, share it with a friend who could use the reminder too. Let’s help each other shift our minds back to Who God is and What’s He’s done!
