Choose to Think of Good Things

“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.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

God’s word reminds us that we have a choice on what we think about. I don’t have to remind anyone of the brokenness in our world. We desperately need Jesus in our hearts. We desperately need healing.

Today, instead of focusing on the things that we need turned around, yes let us pray for them but let’s choose to think about what is noble, right and pure.

When I think of this scripture, I think these are all attributes of God ♥️.

Dr. David Jeremiah put it this way when speaking about God’s goodness:

“His goodness means far more than His generosity, but it certainly includes His infinitely generous attitude toward us. By nature, He longs to bring joy and blessing to all His creatures.”

Now THAT is some good stuff!

If we find ourselves spending too much time, thinking about what is wrong in the world today, may we stop, pray about those things, and trust & believe that God is working all things together for our good and for His glory.

Then, let’s fix our eyes on Him, as we shift our thoughts to what is good, instead.
