Thinking WITH God

DAY 1 OF 4

“Are you thinking what I am thinking?” Friends and family often think the same thought at the same time because they know each other well. I was driving with my friend Ed when he looked at a man on the sidewalk and said, “That man is up to no good. When you have been a cop for a while you can see someone who is where he is not supposed to be. I don’t know how but you know.” We can think along with some people we don’t know by watching them. It made me wonder what God sees when God looks at us and our lives. 

Thinking with God is very different from thinking about God. The brain has a “mutual mind” system that lets us get inside other people’s heads sometimes. We understand. We “get it.” The Bible is full of stories about people who “get it” and those who “don’t get it” with what God wants them to understand. These stories are there to help us “get it” and think along with God. 

Let’s start by thinking with St. Paul about sharing our mind with God through the Spirit.

About this Plan

Thinking WITH God

Did you ever find yourself wondering, “What was God thinking?” If God is as much smarter than us as we are smarter than a grasshopper, there is a lot we won’t understand. But, living as God wants us to live means our brains have to think WITH God. We can learn that. This Plan gives four places to practice.
