Thinking Like God Does

The Rev. Keith C. Powell has written a liberating new book for Bridge-Logos Foundation. It is entitled, The Power of God Thinking. Though this title is a bit ambiguous in that it could refer to the power that is unleashed when God thinks (creative power) or the power that comes to us when we think as God thinks. This book is about the latter meaning, and it is written in a very user-friendly way.

Keith writes, "God-thinking is as much about deliberately abandoning wrong thinking as it is about adopting or putting the things of God on top.

"In his book The Power of Positive Thinking Norman Vincent Peale wrote, "If your thinking is wrong, it is wrong and not right and can never be right so long as it is wrong. If it is wrong in the essence, it is bound to be wrong in the result.'

"It is this very kind of thinking--wrong thinking--that keeps you from getting what is rightfully yours in Christ. the Word of God is filled with references to the way you think and points to the importance it plays in the outcome of your life. 'The thoughts of the righteous are right' (Proverbs 12:5)."

May you discover the power of God-thinking in your life today, as you let His words become your thoughts.
