Ideas

 Ideas are an important part of life.  But how we view ideas may reflect our understanding of our world.  For instance, if you think that your ideas should be the basis for how you live, you are suggesting that you are in charge of your own life.  If you think that your ideas carry power instead of looking at the ideas of others you may be overly focused on yourself.  How we view ideas can have a lot of impact.  Perhaps the most critical thing we need to understand is that when it comes to ideas we ought to be highly suspicious of our own and instead surrender them, along with our thoughts and attitudes, to the revealed will of God.  Our ideas are not something independent but something that God demands we give to Him.  So take your ideas and give them to God and see what God has to say about them!
