WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND?

It’s a “What’s On Your Mind” Tuesday.

LORD BLESS US AND GIVE US A POSITIVE WAY OF THINKING. AMEN.

The late Dr Benjamin E. Mays, the former President of Morehouse College, coined a famous phrase “A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste.” This is the slogan used by The United Negro College Fund and many a speaker because it speaks a serious truth that must be realized by all of God’s creation. After the heart your brain, your mind is the most important part of the body. The brain must function if we are to function. Now there are three types of minds.

First, there are small minds. Small minded people only discuss other people. They are folk who just gossip about the affairs of other people. They have no life of their own. A small mind equals a small life. “No man who thinks in terms of catching mice will ever catch a lion.”

Second, there are average minds.  Average minded people only discuss events. They are the folk who are like a walking newspaper and can tell what’s happening in and about town. They are just busy following the events of the world with no productive time of their own. An average  mind equals an average life. “Beware of what you set your mind on for that you will surely become.”(Emerson)

Third, there are great minds. Great minded people discuss ideas and the ways of God. They are the people who are the creators and inventors of the world. They are always thinking of ways to make this a better world in which to live. They are the folk who have faith and see beyond their circumstances knowing that God is going to work things out. They know that the battle is not theirs but The Lords. They know that God is working that negative situation into a positive situation for their good. A great mind equals a great life. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7)

Now, I can’t speak for you but my God who created me and called me into being has given me a great mind and I’m going to use it for His Glory.

So I ask you today, are you a small-minded, average minded or great minded person? AMEN UP IN HERE, LIGHTS AND WALLS.
