It is your duty to God to run your life on intelligent lines. God gives us all as much intelligence as we can possibly need, but, unfortunately, in most cases we use very little of it.
Ask yourself today if you are really conducting your life intelligently. Are you eating and drinking intelligently? Do you select your reading intelligently? Do you spend your money intelligently? Do you consider intelligently the things that you hear, or do you just accept them uncritically? Do you exercise intelligence in carrying out your daily work? Do you seek to approach each new problem with intelligence instead or mere emotions?
Have you intelligent plans for the future? Do you know what you would really like to do or to be, and if not wouldn’t it be only intelligent to go to work and find out and then draw up an intelligent plan for gaining your desire?
The world needs more intelligence. There is plenty of will, but because people will not use enough intelligence, mankind everywhere is in difficulties. Your intelligence is the light of God in your soul.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5)
A friend of this author used to have a bumper sticker on his car that simply said, “THINK”. When asked why he displayed the sticker he replied that it’s because “most people don’t.” His point is addressed by today’s thought.
When we use our intelligence, we engage God’s greatest attribute given to humankind. Our intelligence is God’s intelligence manifesting itself through us. When we rationally work through the good and bad experiences we have, we give God the opportunity to reveal to us those thoughts and insights we need to make good decisions, regardless of emotional or personal reactions that might take us the wrong way.
Let us today use all of God’s gifts to guide our thoughts and the words and deeds they create. Then, ask God to guide and direct those thoughts so they reflect God’s love in every way. This will assure that our lives can become the garden God created them to be.
