Is your past a “guidepost” or a “hitching post”?

Learn from the past, live for today, plan for the future!

(If you spend too much time regretting the past or fearing the future, it will rob you of living in the present.)

"Thermostat Theology"

I have two devices around my house that tell me the temperature, but both are very different. One simply reads the temperature, but the other regulates it. One only announces the temperature, while the other adjusts it. One is the thermometer, and the other is the thermostat.

The thermometer fluctuates on a moment-by-moment basis depending on surrounding circumstances. It's usually unpredictable. It's up one day and down the next. Yet, the thermostat remains consistent. It's never moved by its surrounding climate.

In the ever-changing, ever-turbulent circumstances of life, our personal attitude should resemble the thermostat more than the thermometer. No matter what the temperature reads outside, whether times are good or times are bad, your internal temperature should be determined by the constant, unchanging characteristics about you that God has declared to be true. That is, as a Believer you are full of worth, dignity, and Godly wisdom. There is no situation too overwhelming. Christ is in you, and He is the Rock that never changes. Do you know what that means? He is your thermostat.
