Philippians 4:8a Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true…
Our thoughts are powerful. What we spend our mental energy thinking about will shape our day. Have you ever noticed that when you are in a terrible mood, when you think someone is being mean or snarky, you suddenly find negativity everywhere? That happens to me.
Philippians 4:8b …whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure…
But when I look for good, when I look for God, when I look for blessings, they are everywhere, too. Give it a try. Look for the good in your day. Look for “Godwinks,” where God is showing you He’s present.. Look for positive things and people. Be a positive person, putting good into the world. Truly, the benefits are startling.
Philippians 4:8c …whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—
Lord, Help me to focus on things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, praiseworthy in this day. Help me to put good into the world and to look for the good. I know that when I look for it, when I look for You, I find You everywhere I look. Help me to be a positive force for You today. Amen.
Philippians 4:8d …if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Have a blessed day.
