June 20 “Think the Right Thoughts” Philippians 4:8
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “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.” (Philippians 4:8)
How you think is how you will act! What thoughts that you dwell on will be the actions that you are involved with in the future! The Apostle informed us about attitude and actions and that each should reflect the true nature of our Amazing and Loving Lord! It comes down to the fact that we are what we think! Is your thinking edifying to Christ? Or are you participating in what my dear mother called, “Stinking Thinking?” The scripture says, “Finally…” In the final analysis, we are to act and think the way that God intends and when we are participating in His plan, then we will be edifying to HIM! The concept is so simple yet extremely difficult! Make sure that you are “filling” your mind with the “Good” stuff and leaving the “Trash” alone! Dwell on this verse, let it penetrate your mind, and repeat it on a regular basis! “It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that will determine your altitude!” God has provided the WAY, and it is up to us to embrace it, claim it, and to Live it! Stay Strong, Stay Focused … THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
