Catching GOD's Thoughts

Catching GOD’s Thoughts

I just heard a TV preacher say he “caught a thought about GOD, just like he caught a cold last February.” The rest of his message was good, but that sentence, “I caught a thought about GOD like I caught a cold last February.” caught my attention and I started thinking about it. How is catching a thought about GOD like catching a cold? I mean you do not try to catch a cold so how is the process the same?

At first I thought it was a bad analogy, but then I realized that you catch a cold by being around people who have colds, cold germs are not just floating around in the air waiting for someone to walk by so they can catch them. That means to catch a thought about GOD you have to be hanging around people who are thinking and talking about GOD; you have to be reading His Word and thinking about what it means.

GOD is everywhere at all times, there is nowhere in existence where GOD is not present. GOD is Omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent! He speaks and it exists and happens! His thoughts are everywhere and they are looking for those who want them; they do not return to Him unaccomplished. It is not unheard of but rarely does someone who is resistant to GOD catch GOD’s thought that reveals Himself; it only happens if they have a pure heart.

We think of catching a cold as an accident, but to catch a thought about GOD you have to be purposeful. GOD uses all of His creation to reveal Himself to us, He has given us His Word (instruction) on how to find and hear Him, He wants us to catch His thoughts.

We call the cold common because of its prevalence in the world, but a thought about GOD should be even more common, daily. We are told that we should have the same mind that was in CHRIST, a mind of humility and service in obedience to The Father.
