Consider This..

It is important what we spend our time considering. It is also important that we spend our time considering. I looked up a few texts this morning to help me to see what God wants me to consider.

Deuteronomy 32:7, 32:29
1 Samuel 12:24
Job 37:14
Psalm 8:3
Proverbs 6:6
Matthew 6:28-29
Hebrews 3:1, 12:3

First God wants us to consider the past. We are to consider how God has worked for us in the past. This not only applies to our personal lives, but how he worked for us (as being a grafted in people) in Israel.

Then we are to consider our future. Where do our current actions lead. What will become of me and my family if I continue doing X?

Also we are to consider Gods creation. We are to consider the ants, the clouds, the animals, the stars, and the lilies in the field.

Lastly we are to consider Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. We are to consider him when we are in trials, for we have not resisted temptation to the point of shedding blood. Because for the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross. Consider him who was faithful to God is each and every area of life.
