How Does God Think?


Do you think much about God?

Have you ever wondered how God thinks?



I have.

One thing I know for sure – the Bible reminds us that “no man can know the mind of God, nor understand his ways, his reasoning and his love.”

So, off we go.  Let’s imagine for a few moments how God’s mind works.

What irritates God?
What makes him mad?

What makes him jealous?
What pushes his buttons?

What makes him stop and say “Aha.  I caught you, you low-down dirty rat.  Now I’ve got you where I want you and you’re going to pay.  Shame, shame, shame!”

What if Hitler offered some kind of miraculous death-bed confession and nobody every told us about it?  Would God forgive him right on the spot?

Will Hugh Hefner be in heaven?

In war, which side is God really on? 

Is God an American?

Is he Baptist?
Lutheran?
Episcopalian?
Catholic?
Nazarene?
Mormon?
Buddhist?


So, how does God really think? 

What are some of his thoughts toward us?


I think God loves us way more than we can ever understand.

-He invites us to crawl upon his lap and just have some quiet moments.
-He wants face time with each one of us.  He just wants us in his presence.
-He loves all people equally.

-He watches over us moment by moment.
-He notices even a sparrow that falls to the ground.
-He clothes the lilies.

-He reaches for the down-and-out with a redemptive heart of compassion.
-He is looking for more ways to get us home to heaven than for ways to keep us out.

-He is a forgiving God.
-He never remembers past sins.
-He dances for joy over us.
-He runs to us when we turn back to Him.

He loves Ethiopians as much as he loves Americans.
He will never take away our free will for making choices. 

So how does God think?

With a heart full of love greater than anything we could ever imagine,
     Regardless of whom we are,
          What we are,
               Where we are,
Or in whatever condition we might find ourselves at the present moment. 

God Is Love. 

That is how God thinks.

God is offering love.  Now, receive it!
