What are you focusing on?

Philippians 4:8 (NKJV)

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

We have a choice of what to focus on, so often we are faced with challenges whether it be an event or a person that can cause us to very easily turn our eyes to the negative. I want to challenge you to hear Paul and his plea to the church in Philipi, meditate on the true things, the pure things, the things of good report. Don't let a moment in time rip you off from the joy you have in the Lord. Just like training for a new skill over time you gain more and more proficiencies in the task as you exercise and make more attempts at your new skill. The same will be true as you focus more on the good things, the less you will on the bad. The quicker you will catch yourself and take the negative thoughts captive and correct yourself. But the key is you have to start and you have to focus...

Well what shall I focus on you ask? How will I fill my day with these true things, the pure things, the things of good report. Well I'm glad you asked...The psalmist states;

Psalm 145:5 (NLT)

I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles.

If you focus on just these three things - God's majesty, His glorious splendor, and all His wonderful miracles you will have a lifetime of things to focus on.

Jesus loves you, have a great week.
