In the hymn "Be Thou My Vision," an 8th Century Irish hymn, one of the titles ascribed to God is "Best Thought." I've never thought of a title like this before, but, indeed, God is the Best Thought we can possibly have.
The actual words read: "Thou my best thought, by day or by night." Over the last week my thoughts have turned to "seeing" God. Actually seeing Him with my own eyes. We say often I can hardly wait to see God, but the phrase must have become common to me, and I hadn't really focused on that reality.
Recently I read these words: "Think of stepping on shore and finding it Heaven; Of taking hold of a hand and finding it God's."
Take a moment today and consider seeing God. It's powerful. It will be a reality one day. He is the very Best Thought I can ever have!

Oh so true Carol! I have always been encouraged by the Phil. 4:8 "think on these things" passage and what I've learned is that even if you can find nothing worthy in your circumstances to think on... by focusing on God... thinking on Him... He fulfills the entire list for He forever is true, noble, praiseworthy, etc... so from that verse we see again that He truly is the BEST THOUGHT we can have! Blessings my friend...
