Can you imagin the countless thoughts that have run through you head since the day you opened your eyes and saw the very first person in your life? Is it possible thoughts ran through your head while in the womb? Science has proven that classical music, when played soothenly near the pregnant mother, has a beneficial effect upon the fetus helping the child to come into the world calmer and more intelligent when born. I don't know if I have experienced this myself or heard testimony of such results, but if true, then possibly a child in the womb can experience thoughts in the womb. Let's see the abortionist counter that one!
Let's see. I am 49 now which if I were to take every thought, starting with my very first and ending with the very last one of tonight, how much beach could I cover if my thoughts were a grain of sand---good thoughts, bad thoughts, thoughts that didn't make sense? I might be able to cover the first inch of a good size sand box. You think I may think too much?
Now think about God who is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. He is Omnipresent which means He was always around. God was never brought into His creation; His creation was brought because of Him. Now measure His thoughts to my one inch covering of a good size sand box. No comparison. From the time I wake in the morning til my mind goes into realm sleep, I am conscious of my thoughts. In realm sleep, I am not conscious of my thoughts other than a dream or two (which can be just as senseless as some of the conscious thoughts). With even this extra activity of thoughts going through my brain, I may be able to add an extra thin layer of sand, but still not be able to compare to God's continual conscious thoughts. The end of the verse says, "When I awake, I am still with you. " God's mind is always on me and on everything He has created. Can you imagin that vastness?
So what does this have to do with the price of eggs in China, Nancy? Place my sandbox in the middle of a vast desert and make a comparison. No comparison. My point is this: Read the Bible from the first word written in Genesis to the very last word written in the Book of Revelation and you will see how God has placed His thought about every part of His creation into action using His creation according to His purpose and will; whether that created person wanted such action or not. No, this is not a control thing, but God is in control thing. Since He created me and He is in control of what He has created, then should I not be able to take every thought captive?
Jehovah-Elohim, Eternal Creator,
My range of thought cannot even come close to what You have, even to this moment. Since You are in control of every thought and You created my capacity to think any thoughts, certainly I can take the time to take captive every thought as though it is from You. My every thought should be used to glorify You and not myself. Since I am still a sinful person in need of a Savior, Jesus, my example of taking captive every thought, help me to do so in order that You may be glorified in my life, in His most presious name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
