What Am I Thinking About

Scripture: Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.

Observation: I wish that was my thinking. My thoughts always go to the negative, even if I’m trying to think good thoughts given time my thoughts turn to the evil that is in my heart. My thoughts prove the sinful man that I am and yet God loves me and deserves so much better then I give Him. He surrounds me with beauty and blessings, but my thought still focus on evil.

Application: I need to make the best effort I can to focus on all the blessings God surrounds me with each day. There is so much to think about in my life that is wonderful and that is what I need to be concentrating on. When a negative thought comes in my thoughts I need to overcome it by thinking of the blessings God has given me.

Prayer: My Lord you have given me so much that my heart and mind should be overflowing with nothing but good things. Help me Lord overcome the evil that is in me and strengthen me to do what is of you.
