Think about It
Reading: Philippians 4:8, 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. [NKJV]
One of the nice things about the Apostle Paul is… you didn’t really have to guess where you stand with him. He usually was very good at saying things fairly pointedly. This passage is not different. He gives a list of things and simply says, think or meditate on these things. So, today, let’s not just read about it… let’s truly follow what Paul is saying.
What are some things that you know to be true about God?
What are some things that are noble that you see in Christian men around you?
What are some ways that you have seen God’s justice?
What are a few things that you would consider being pure?
What are some things that you consider lovely?
What has happened recently that you would consider good news, “good report”?
Today, make a point to continue to review the things that you have listed above to follow Paul’s instructions to “meditate” or think about those things.
End of the Day Review
What were some distractions that tried to keep you from meditating and thinking about those things?
How did meditating or thinking about those things impact your day, your attitude and your perception?
