Have you ever spoken a thought and someone said, Great Idea”? I’m sure you have, because even I have come up with the so called great idea from time to time. Sure, my ideas haven’t been of the billion dollar invention or life altering form, but they have been beneficial to me and others at the time.
What kind of great idea do you want to originate? Is it some kind of medicine that is life saving? Perhaps you want to invent the next must have household appliance. Maybe you can come up with an idea that will help all people get along with each other, fostering world peace. I truly hope that you will be given the great idea of your dreams.
However, sometimes it is the old ideas that yield the greatest benefit. Ideas like loving your family and forgiving one another reap eternal rewards. Proverbs 3:3-4 says, “Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man.” God calls steadfast love and faithfulness two great ideas. If we adhere to these two qualities, He promises that we will find favor with Him and with men. He also promises to give us good success. Aren’t these the very things we seek with our own great ideas?
