Things to Think On

Finally, brothers and sisters, 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.
— Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

Your thoughts have enough power to change your day. When you only focus on bad things, your mind will only allow you to see the bad in every situation. But when you transform your mind to see the good in every situation, you will have a positive effect on your outlook. For example, when the weather report says it will be sunny, but it rains, instead of saying, “Those people at Channel 7 are so incompetent,” you could be positive and say, “My flowers could use some rain today.” A way to channel your thoughts is to already be thinking good thoughts. God says whatever things are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy, think on those things. If what you are thinking right now does not fall into one of those categories, quickly change the channel! Practice looking for the good in every situation.
