I was reading the Gospel of Matthew today and was astounded by something. Matthew mentions, almost as if in passing, "He knew their thoughts." Wait a second, WHAT? He (Jesus) knew their thoughts!?! He knew what they were thinking. A quick search of www.biblegateway.com shows that this happened a couple of times throughout Jesus' ministry. So how do you doubt someone when they turn to you and say, "why are you thinking that" and then proceed to teach against the evil thoughts that you just had. How do you deny that that person is God?
Or better yet, what are you thinking about that you wouldn't want God to catch you thinking about. He knows your thoughts: past, present and future, He knows. He delights in the good ones and forgives you for the bad ones. But no matter, what He knows. Shouldn't we all strive to cultivate a thought life that brings more pleasure to God than forgiveness from Him?
