Free to Think


The greatest freedom you have is the freedom to think. So why aren’t you exercising your greatest freedom?  
August’s Awakening, Day 10

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.

 —Henry Ford 
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they never use.

 —S. Kierkegaard

 

hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught Psalm 55:2 NIV

 

How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Psalm 139:17 NIV  

 

            As humans, we are all inherently lazy, trying to accomplish essentials with the minimum amount of effort. Thinking takes much effort and can be greatly draining, especially if not exercised often. We have the greatest resource of infinite knowledge available to us all through God Himself. We do not need to have genius IQ’s to be intellectually savvy. It’s really a question of motivation and desire. The more knowledge you gain the greater will be the desire to attain more, and the knowledge base is limitless. Allow God to help you direct your thoughts and yearning for knowledge, wisdom, and practical good sense. Your thoughts make you who you are and the single best way to improve yourself is to learn more. Make the effort. Let God give you direction. Make it a point to make yourself the best you can be. Think profusely and profoundly.
