What Were You Thinking?
APRIL 2, 2026
Daily Reading—Joshua 1-3 / Luke 6:1-19
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Luke 5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
Have you ever witnessed someone do something crazy and thought, “What were you thinking?” The question may be rhetorical, and by it, you are simply saying, “You must not be thinking clearly, because, if you thought this through, you would not have done that.” On the other hand, it may be a serious question as you wonder, “What were you thinking?”
When Jesus asked, “What reason ye in your hearts,” Jesus knew the men’s thoughts. He did not need to ask them, “What were you thinking?” He knew. God also knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts today. Hebrews 4:12 says the Word of God will help us decide in life how we might act upon our thoughts and intents.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Is what you’re doing in life causing God to rhetorically ask, “What were you thinking?”
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
