So I was just randomly thinking one day. . .What if everyone in the world had the power of telepathy? Yes, everyone will be able to know what another person is thinking by just willing it. I came to the conclusion that the world will become utterly chaotic. People will become violent towards perfect strangers just because of negative and prejudiced thoughts that goes on in people's minds. Will we shut off our telepathy long enough to get anything done in our day-to- day life and work? Perhaps the already low voter turnout will decrease to nil because people will know all politicians' true motives and inner thoughts. Or perhaps, the opposite will happen, only the truly honest-hearted politicians will be voted into office. Relationships of all levels will break down because people know the thought life of everyone else. Will there be more divorces because spouses find out their spouses are really not who they thought they were? Or will more romances occur because previously shy secret admirers will come together? Friendships will clash and collapse once when we learn what friends really think. But maybe we'll just learn who our true friends are? Will there be any pastors, preachers, ministers or holy men left? Won't we just learn that they have just as shockingly sinful thoughts as we? Or maybe, we'll be touched by how closely they walk with God in prayers?
I am just glad, in the world outside of my imagination, telepathy isn't real. However, I mustn't forget that GOD is someone who DOES know every single one of our thoughts.
1 Chronicles 28:9
for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts.
Psalm 139:2
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
The Bible also teaches us to guard our thoughts and be disciplined in it so that our thoughts might be wholesome. I know my own thought life falls far short of God's ideal and the following verse is a good reminder to me.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is NOBLE, whatever is RIGHT, whatever is PURE, whatever is LOVELY, whatever is ADMIRABLE- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.
