Who are You?
December 17th 2006 12:04
Do you know what you believe? Who you are is largely what you believe, and what you’ll stand up for. So I’m asking you, what do you believe? What is worth all your major efforts. They say “As a man thinketh, so is he”. That’s a quotation from proverbs in the Bible. When all said and done, your clothes, your “cool”, your possessions, your status or wealth, your position, your relationship with those around you are all a product of the way you think, and the way you think is a product of what you believe.
So what do you believe? What you believe will define your life, relationships, everything. What you believe is a result of your own choice. Circumstances happen, both good and bad, but it’s the way you handle them that counts, and the way you handle them is the product of what you think, which is the product of what you believe.
So, what do you believe? It’s most important to know. What beliefs are dug deep into your psyche? What voices in your head do you listen to? You actually have all the choices. You also have the responsibility and the results!
Therefore it’s important to know what you believe because it may need changing if you are not getting the right results!
You can only get the right results by having the right behaviours. You can only have the right behaviours if your thinking and your belief system is right. Your thinking can only be right if it’s based in truth. The truth cannot be whatever you imagine it to be any more than the law of gravity can be whatever you think it is. Therefore you MUST find out what the Truth is! “The Truth will set you free” says the scripture. That means free of the influence of lies, half-truths (sometimes the most dangerous of all since they appear true) deviations and concoctions.
The most important thing in life then is to discover Truth. That means putting aside personal agenda (very difficult to do). There is such a thing as the Spriit of Truth.. There are a lot of spirits you don’t want in your life, but this one is most important! Ask Him to lead you into all Truth so you can be made free! A man who loves truth above all things is a man indeed, a man who cannot be bought, a man who knows what he believes and doesn’t easily get persuaded from it. He is a man who is able to listen and assess by the spirit-level (as in building) of reality. This works in every sphere of life, whether you are planning strategies at work or discussing the adventures of your children in the world they live in. Truth is always the yardstick.
Discovering Truth? That’s another story!
