“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
Philipians 4:8
Have you ever noticed that tend to gravitate toward the things that we think about? We lean towards the very things that we often think about. Many times we do this without realizing we are doing so. It’s almost as though we are on Autopilot or cruise control.
Are you in the middle of a storm? Perhaps stuck in a rut? Stop for a moment and take a look at the things that are floating around in your thoughts. It is time for a change.
If you want to change your direction, start with changing what you think about most often. Meditate on the Love of God , His Hope and His Truth. See what God has in mind for you and discover that His plans are far above our own plans.
Want to change your direction right away? Here are 3 thoughts to help:
1. Engage in daily devotion. Read your bible, read a book of devotions that you find online.
2. Every morning take the time to write down 3 things that you are most thankful for.
3. Spend time in prayer daily. Even if it’s just to say”Thank you Lord for these 3 things I have written down.
