I Think, I Though, I'd Thunk!

It's easy to go along on automatic unaware of 90% of life... Particularity when we're tired... we budget our cognitive resources so that our brains don't explode from all the information they have to process. This makes it easy to miss the obvious! Beloved God wants us to use our noggins and THINK! But how are we to think and what's good to think about? well, it says in...

Phil 4-8 Whatever things are

1. True - honest, genuine, faithful truth
2. Noble - magnanimous, honorable, excellent
3. Just - Fair, reasonable,unbiased, deserved
4. Pure - clear, chaste, clean,untainted
5. Lovely - charming, agreeable pleasing agreeable
6. Good report - worthwhile, recommend, admirable
7. Virtuous - moral, ethical, upright, good
8. Praiseworthy - approved, laudable, acclaimed.

Think on these things...

What do you spend your time thinking about? When I loose my peace I find it really helpful to go back to this verse and speak to my spirit and choose to think about these things, positive things... rather than the stresses and strains which can so easily sap our psychological/emotional/physical and spiritual strength. Read the above again and while you do pray God would make each one real to you in this day.
