FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE!
Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise—dwell on these things…
Paul instructs us to focus our thoughts on the positive aspects of life, yet oftentimes we find it easy to dwell on the negatives…Paul teaches us to direct our thought toward things that are true, pure, and worthy of praise…When we do, we are rewarded…
HOW ABOUT YOU…
How will you direct your thoughts today? Will you be and upbeat believer? Will you put a smile on your face and a song in you heart? Hopefully so…But’s here’s a word of warning…

HOW ABOUT YOU…
How will you direct your thoughts today? Will you be and upbeat believer? Will you put a smile on your face and a song in you heart? Hopefully so…But’s here’s a word of warning…
Sometimes, when pessimism, frustration, or doubt threaten to hijack your emotions, you won’t feel much like celebrating…That’s why you must always strive to keep your thoughts headed in the right direction…
Your thoughts have the power to lift you up or to drag you down…They have the power to energize you or deplete you, to inspire you to greater accomplishments or to make those accomplishments impossible…
What kind of attitude will select today…? Will you follow Paul’s instructions (Philippians 4:7-8) by dwelling upon those things that are true, honorable, just, and pure? Or will you allow yourself to be swayed by the negativity that seems to dominate our troubled world?
God intends that you experience joy and abundance…but He will not force His joy upon you; you must claim it for yourself…It’s up to you to celebrate the life that God has given you by focusing your mind upon the things that are excellent and worthy of praise…So today, spend more time thinking about your blessings…and less time fretting about your hardships…Then, take time to thank the Giver of all things good for gifts that are, in truth, far too numerous to count…
Your thoughts have the power to lift you up or bring you down, so you should guard your thoughts very carefully…
1st Peter 1:13, Therefore, get you minds ready for action, being self-disciplined, and set you hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ…
James 4:8, Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…
Proverbs 16:3, Commit your works to the Lord, and your thought will be established…
Thanks.
