Philippians 4:8 (NKJV) 8 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.
It’s interesting that we are told to meditate on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely and of good report.
Nowadays it is very hard to find such a thing. But it’s out there. And where do we need to keep our eyes and ears? On the good things.
I don’t believe any one of us enjoy listening to negative reports, unless we are the type that enjoys the drama.
And if that’s the case, we’d better check our heart and get things right. Because it’s not the heart of God.
He wants us all to succeed in our walk with Him. He wants to see us all be the head and not the tail. And this is one way to become just that; finding the right things to meditate on.
Stop burying our heads in negativity.
God doesn’t say He wants us to just take a peek at these things. No. He says to really focus on the goodness of the Lord.
Why, because it keeps our heart in the “right place”. The place it needs to be, stable, strong and believing!!
God’s children need to not lose heart in any given situation. We are to remain strong, even if we need to be encouraged by each other from time to time. We’ve got to help each other stand and not lose heart.
Psalm 27:13 (NKJV) 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.
Know that God is moving all the time in the land of the living, and He shows up when we least expect it.
We need to be watching, listening and meditating on the goodness of God!
Wow, the things He is doing in this day are amazing! Amen.
