Devotional...6/26/13
It never ceases to amaze me that as long as I
keep my mind stayed on the Lord and on good thoughts, things go very
well for me in my life. It is when I began to dwell on those things that are
negative and dark, I can quickly spiral down into depression and
discouragement. I can dive into that depression within a matter of minutes.
That is why the Lord tells us in his word ini
Philippians 4:8
Philippians 4:8
"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble,
whatever things are just,
whatever things are pure,
whatever things are pure,
whatever things are lovely,
whatever things are of good report,
whatever things are of good report,
if there is
any virtue
and if there is anything praiseworthy
and if there is anything praiseworthy
---meditate on these
things."
We can be confident and assured that if we follow that passage continually in our life, we can experience God's peace and rest regardless of what is going on around us. Keeping our mind's stayed on Christ and all of His goodness is a great habit to have every moment, hour, and day of our life. I am ever so thankful that God's word truly works as we apply it in our life.
In His Radical Love,

Hi Sandy
ReplyDeleteThis is such a powerful teaching in the scripture. If we dwell on sad or unpleasant things it will steal our joy and sense of well being. It will drag our minds and attitudes away from Him. So we must think like this...
"if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy ---meditate on these things."
Good ideas
God's timing is always perfect - Recently I've found myself plunging ahead,or peeking from behind a tree to see what obstacles might be awaiting my mad dash into the day! Your thought has shifted me from overdrive to cruise control, Sandy, thanks for being obedient to the Holy Spirit and writing what He gives you!
