Today’s Scripture…
Philippians 4:8-9
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, 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. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Thoughts…
Garbage in! Garbage out! That is what this group of verses is referred to as quite often. It makes a lot of sense. Kind of like the ‘you are what you eat’ saying. You can’t expect to be the model of health, if all you eat is Big Macs every single day.
Your mind works on that same principle. Surround yourself with a bunch of happy loving people and you will find your mood go up. Hangout with a bunch of cranky complaining people and watch your mood drop. If this weren’t so, we would have no need for music or comedies. Actually, we wouldn’t have a need for art at all. Hmmm…or comfort food!
My point is when we focus on the good, it doesn’t mean we won’t be touched by the bad. It means we will find the peace and strength to endure it.
Prayer…
Lord, today I choose to take the garbage out and fill my life with good! ~amen
