Avoid "Overthinking" by "Thinking Over" God's Word Instead. Believe Jesus Christ. And experience His peace. Today. -Stacie Ruth
Do you feel like you're at the end of your rope and about to fall off of a mountain? Remember, fellow believers, that you don't rely on your rope: God is holding you. You'll have a mountaintop experience with the Lord again. Trust Him. Enjoy Psalm 118:13 with me: "I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me."
At times when we face obstacles, our tendencies can be to overthink our problems and overthink until we make problems. Rather than overthink, choose to think over Scripture.
Dwell on the Word and He will help you dwell in this world without being conformed to it.
Creative people can tend to overthink -especially if not busy with creative projects. Use your God-given creativity to create things for His glory. And think over how to bless others instead of allowing yourself to overthink.
As Zig Ziglar, a Christian motivational speaker, aptly said, "Overthinking [is] the art of creating problems that don't exist."
Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are God's workmanship and that He has prepared good works for us, as born again believers, to do. Exciting!
"For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above-spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].
So let's be "thinking over" that Scripture instead of overthinking. Amen?
