I am choosing to be intentional continuously on dwelling upon good thoughts. When thoughts come into my mind that are negative and contrary to what God's word says, I take captive of those thoughts and meditate on Godly thoughts.
God's word says...
"Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best
by filling your minds and meditating on things true,
noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious-
the best, not the worst,; the beautiful, not the ugly;
noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious-
the best, not the worst,; the beautiful, not the ugly;
things to praise, not things to curse...DO that,
and God, who makes everything work together,
will work you into his most excellent harmonies."
Philippians 4:8-9

will work you into his most excellent harmonies."

The Message
I am experiencing such a peace in my mind and heart when my thoughts are in line with God's Word. Not only that, but my conversations with all that I encounter daily are life giving! My days are so much more delightful when I choose the excellent way in keeping my thoughts in tact with God.
Thinking on great and Godly thoughts I can assure you will be a tremendous blessing to you and your sphere of people. God's way is always the very best way!!
In His Radical Love,
