Morning Prayer, Friday, March 13, 2026 - WORD(S) OF THE DAY:  GOD-CONSCIENCE

Father God, help me to live a God-conscience life, in that my thoughts will always be in alignment with Your will for me.  Amen

“[8] I don’t think the way you think.  The way you work isn’t the way I work.”       God’s Decree. For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think.”  (Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV)

“Conscience is the light by which we interpret the will of God in our own lives.”  All throughout the run of a day, thoughts are constantly popping in and out of our heads.  Some of them are God thoughts and others we should quickly dismiss because they mean us no good.  Just because you think a thing does not mean you should act on it.  Ponder it before you speak or act on it.  Some of us have gotten into some pretty bad situations because we moved on what we were thinking without seeking God for direction or counsel.  God tells us in Isaiah 55, “My thoughts are not your thoughts . . .”  Just because it sounds right and feels right to you does not mean it is God’s will for you.  Philippians 4:8, a scripture we should all probably post on the bathroom mirror or the refrigerator door instructs believers to focus their thoughts on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.  It does not say anything about focusing on your desires or needs.  It does not say focus on things that are best for you because sometimes, if truth be told, the things we think are best for us, are not.  When a thought pops into my head, I have to ask what does God think about this?  Would He be pleased with my actions?  We don’t always think that way.  Why, because many times, our thoughts follow what our flesh desires.  If we are God-conscience, we will seek God before moving out on any thought that pops into our head.
