THINK!

THINK was a one-word slogan developed by IBM founder Thomas J. Watson, Sr. in the 1920’s and 1930’s. I’m now adopting THINK as my word for 2023. After I told a buddy of mine he gave me this original sign that all the IBM employees of old received! I love it. 

One of the greatest mistakes I make is to think that everything I think is actually true! As one psychiatrist has said: “The greatest source of our suffering are the lies we tell ourselves.”

My word for 2023 is Think! “… whatever is true … think about such things.”

Philippians 4:8

My daily Anthem: Think … God’s Thoughts!

  • The position of Savior has been taken! “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.” John 6:29 NLT “Everyone who believes in him is made right in God’s sight - something the law of Moses could never do.” Acts 13:39 NLT

  • I have everything I need to do everything God wants me to do! “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.” 2 Peter 1:3 NIV

  • I’m addicted to hope! “May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you  may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”  Romans 15:13 “I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.” Psalm 71:14 NIV

  • I’m confident, God isn’t finished with me yet! “…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Phil. 1:6 NIV

  • I’m fulfilled but not yet finished!  “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 NIV

  • I’m surrounded and in good company! “Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12 NIV “Unfailing love surrounds those who trust the Lord.” Psalm 37:10 NLT

  • I’m in the grip of gratitude! “…in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 NIV

  • I’m disproportionately blessed to be a blessing. “Blessings are on the head of the righteous…” Proverbs 10:6 ESV “Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous.” 2 Corinthians 9:11 NLT

  • I’m immensely loved. I am the beloved child of The Most High God - fully loved, accepted and forgiven. “Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life…” Psalm 23:6 NLT

  • I’m expectant! I live on high alert for the surprise visits of God. “Looking for the Blessed Hope and glorious appearing of our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” Titus 2:13 NKJV

Grace & Peace!
