Good Thoughts

The Apostle Paul said this: “Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.

⁸ Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don’t ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise. ⁹ You know the teachings I gave you, and you know what you heard me say and saw me do. So follow my example. And God, who gives peace, will be with you.” Philippians 4:7-9 CEV

Think on good things. Keep pure thoughts and peace will be the by-product.

“It is better to live right and be poor than to be sinful and rich. ¹⁷ The wicked will lose all
of their power, but the Lord gives strength to everyone who is good. ¹⁸ Those who obey the Lord are daily in his care, and what he has given them will be theirs forever. ¹⁹ They won’t be in trouble when times are bad, and they will have plenty when food is scarce…

²¹ An evil person borrows and never pays back; a good person is generous and never stops giving. ²² Everyone the Lord blesses will receive the land; everyone the Lord curses will be destroyed. ²³ If you do what the Lord wants, he will make certain each step you take is sure. ²⁴ The Lord will hold your hand, and if you stumble, you still won’t fall. ²⁵ As long as I can remember, good people have never been left helpless, and their children have never gone begging for food. ²⁶ They gladly give and lend, and their children turn out good.” Psalm 37:16-26 CEV

These thoughts, good thoughts, came flooding in this morning when I read this one verse, “Be wise! Remember this and think about the kindness of the Lord.” Psalm 107:43 CEV

Make it a great day – think on these things. The Lord is kind!
