True spiritual condition



Treasures from Tozer!

(A.W. Tozer, 1897-1963)


Anyone who wishes to check on his true spiritual condition may do so by noting what his voluntary thoughts have been over the last hours or days. What has he thought about, when free to think of what he pleased? Toward what has his inner heart turned, when it was free to turn where it would?

When the bird of thought was let go did it fly out like the raven to settle upon floating carcasses — or did it like the dove circle and return again to the ark of God?

 Such a test is easy to run, and if we are honest with ourselves we can discover not only what we are, but what we are going to become. We'll soon be the sum of our voluntary thoughts.
