Philippians 4:8,9 "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy; meditate on these things."
Isn't is true that we all have a tendency to dwell on the negative? But if we dwell on and meditate on good things, then we will have peace and joy. What good does it do for us to be anxious or have negative thoughts? But how good is it to our very health and wholeness of mind to continue thinking of good things that are of honorable character instead of bad things of this world?
I encourage you today to fill your mind with true, noble, just, pure, and lovely things, and let the Lord of heaven reach down and touch your life this very day!
Thank you! It's easy to focus on the negative, especially since I lost my beloved grandma just days before Christmas. I appreciate the reminder to set my thoughts on him; he is doing wonderful things in my life, even as I grieve
