Wherever there is excellence...think about these things.

After talking with my dad (thanks dad:)), I've rethought my thoughts... woah, deep, I know... I'm an intense thinker... ;)

Philippians 4:8
"...whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me - practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you."

Paul is writing to the citizens of Philippi and this is the end of his letter. He has just warned them not to be anxious about anything, but instead take their requests to the Lord. And he adds in a bit about thanksgiving and then ends with this part about what to think about. I think the thanksgiving and "excellent thinking" part of this verse is the most challenging for me.

I am making a goal to think about the true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, worthy of praise. I'm trying to write one down/post one on my wall each day as a reminder. Want to join me?

Have a wonderful day (try to stay dry if it's raining where you are!;))!
