"I wonder what Jesus thought about as He woke up each day?"
By: Kim Borrelli
Today when I woke, my first thought was, "I wonder what Jesus thought about as He woke up each day?" I
pondered, what were His first thoughts as he lived among his family and then began to assemble His team
of disciples?
Based on the stories we know, He certainly wasn't preoccupied with packing lunches or what He was going
to eat for the day. After all, we read several stories of not having food with them, even to the point of taking
a little boy's lunch to feed the multitudes. We know He wasn't wondering about the weather and deciding
to let a little rain storm (or a big storm (tempest) for that matter) deter Him from where He was set on going.
And, as we read about Peter needing to pay the temple tax, Jesus certainly wasn't waking up counting down
to the dreaded tax day - sending Peter to go grab a coin out of the mouth of a fish!
I wonder just what were His first thoughts of the day? In 1st Corinthians, Chapter 2, Paul shares about having
the wisdom and mind of Christ; as believers and followers of Jesus, we receive wisdom through our helper,
His spirit.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the
things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural
man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged
