JUST THINKIN'

Finally, brethren, whatever things

are true, whatever things are noble,

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 (think)

on these things.

Phillipians 4:8

Sometimes we don't consider what we spend our time thinking about. There can be personal things that are affecting us that can lead to thoughts of gloom. At times, we don't feel we have control over what we think but in the above verse, there are several things we should set out minds on

God never puts any command in His Word we can't accomplish. At the end of this verse, Paul simply tells us to think on those things listed. Just about every good thing I can think of that might occupy my mind could fall under one of those categories listed.  No matter the cares we deal with in every day living can be overcome by Bible principles and comfort it offers to all of us

.

There is such comfort, however, no matter our own thinking, that our God is always thinking about us:

For I know the thoughts that I think

toward you, says the LORD, thoughts

of peace and not of evil, to give you'a future 

and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11

Thank You Father, for keeping us in Your thoughts and for loving us like You do. In Jesus' precious name....Amen
