Summary: Keys to maintaining spiritual sanity

MAINTAINING SPIRITUAL SANITY

OBSERVATION: SPIRITUAL SANITY IS A WORK IN PROGRESS REQUIRING DAILY MAINTENANCE.

INTERPRETATION: PROVERBS 12: 5 (NKJV) THE THOUGHTS OF THE RIGHTEOUS ARE RIGHT, BUT THE COUNSELS OF THE WICKED ARE DECEITFUL. PROVERBS 12:5 (THE BOOK) THE PLANS OF THE GODLY ARE JUST; THE ADVICE OF THE WICKED IS TREACHEROUS.

THE WORD OF GOD FORMS THE THOUGHTS OF A RIGHTEOUS BELIEVER. THE WORD WILL DISCERN HIS HEART, THOUGHTS AND INTENTS.

PSALMS 119: 15 (NKJV) I WILL MEDITATE ON YOUR PRECEPTS, AND CONTEMPLATE YOUR WAYS.

GODLY MEDITATION MEANS YOU THINK UPON, CONTEMPLATE UPON THE WORD WITH THE INTENT OF GAINING GODLY WISDOM.

PROVERBS 11: 23 (NKJV) THE DESIRE OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS ONLY GOOD, BUT THE EXPECTATION OF THE WICKED IS WRATH.

THE RIGHTEOUS MAN WANTS ONLY THINGS THAT PLEASE THE LORD.

APPLICATION: PURITAN AUTHOR JOHN TRAPP STATES, “EVERY MAN IS WITH GOD AS HE DESIRES TO BE.”
