Philippians 4:8 NIV – Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever – Bible Gateway

I felt led to share this verse from Philippians 4 today…I have had a struggle lately with what I dwell on in life.  That is, quite honestly, why it has been many days I haven’t published a blog.  Paul gave us a pointer of what we should be spending our time thinking and meditating on.

I got to thinking, as I went down the things to focus on, how our Savior fits every one of these categories.  Our Lord is pure, He is lovely, He is just, He should be praised!  When we get discouraged or upset in any way, we need to focus on His Word and the promises in it! 

When we are saturated in thoughts of Him, we will be able to bring forth the fruits of the Spirit. We will not be exhibiting the warped thoughts of the world; but, we will be renewing our minds through His word. The world will see Jesus.
