Wait, New Thought?

- - Uncategorized

My wife is the master of the conversation switcheroo.

We’re talking about one thing—and without notice she’s saying something that makes absolutely no sense at all with the previous stream of thought.

I usually look confused while I’m trying to figure out what’s going on.

Eventually, I say: “Wait, new thought?”

She thinks about it and says, “Oh, yeah. Of course. Now I’m talking about…”

As long as my mind is on the previous stream of thought, the new thought is just gibberish to me.

I have to let go of the previous conversation in order to engage in the new one.

Kinda like my wife, God is the master of the switcheroo.

He wants to introduce some new thoughts and ideas to us…

“Let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.” (Ephesians 4.23 NLT)

Here’s the deal: in order to receive the new thought, we must let go of the previous one.

As long as we’re holding on to the previous stream of though, attitude, or internal conversation—the new one (the God-thought) will just be gibberish to us.

If stuff isn’t making a whole lot of sense in your life right now, maybe it’s time to say: “Wait, new thought?”
