Just looked up the ‘consider’ verses in the NT. What a fun study: all about reshaping our thinking by reminding ourselves what’s true, when it doesn’t feel true. Or something.
Mastering this lot would change our whole lives.
Here are some of them:
- And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin 1
- So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.2
- Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds3
- But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.4
- Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.5
- I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.6
