Bible Verse of The Day – 10-16-14

Colossians 3:2 (NKJV) 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

There are so many things here on earth that pull on us and vie for our attention.

If we’re not careful, we can get so busy that we have no time left for God. Our mind becomes full of earthly thoughts and ambitions.

With the condition of the world today, we can sometimes let worry and fear dominate us and we begin to doubt God in so many areas. Before we know it, earthly thoughts begin to take over and our faith starts to fade.

But if we follow God’s instructions and we set our minds on things above, we won’t fall into the trap of worry and doubt. We also won’t fall prey to other earthly things, such as jealousy, envy, lust, greed and so many other things that are detrimental to our spiritual well-being.

Let’s make today the day that we begin to change our ways and set our minds on things above and leave the thoughts of earthly things behind.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-4-13

(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.

There are so many things that can occupy our thoughts. It’s easy to get caught up in thoughts that aren’t pleasing to God.

As followers of Christ, we need to keep track of what influences our thoughts and take charge of those things, in the name of Jesus.

Are we seeing things on TV, in magazines, on the internet or in movies that aren’t pure?

Are we hearing things on the radio, in conversations or in other places that are causing us to think things that aren’t pleasing to God?

Days fly by and it can sometimes be hard to keep track of everything. But let’s make a serious effort to do what God asks of us. Let’s watch and listen for those things that are offensive to God and do what is necessary to kick them out of our thought life.

Today, spend time thinking on things that are pure, true, lovely and so much more.
