Thermastats and thermometers!

What's the difference between a thermometer and a thermostat?!!

A thermometer tells it like it is. They give it to you straight. They are honest, reliable and dependable. If you want to know the temperature then you ask a thermometer!

A thermostat on the other hand tells it like it's going to be! They aren't interested in what it is they want to get it to where it should be. If you set the thermostat to 21C/70F and it's 18C/70F, then the thermometer will be telling you what it is but if you go to the thermostat it will look like something it isn't! Now, is the thermostat lying? After all it is saying it is hotter or cooler than it really is! The thermostat isn't lying, the thermostat is set. It is plugged into the power source and it has faith that even though it is a small isolated and remote part of that power source it has the power to change things. Faith is believing in what you don't see. If you can see it you don't need faith anymore!

The first thing that has to change is the attitude of the thermostat. It has to be set to the desired temperature. Then once it is set and stating the required temperature then the power source will follow the faith of the thermostat. However, if the thermostat is only showing the actual temperature then although it has all of the ability of a thermostat to change things it is acting like a mere thermometer!

"18while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Cor 4:18

"27but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, 28and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, " 1 Corinthians 1:27-18

"19Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?" 1 Corinthians 6:19
