Phil4

What captures the dwellings of your mind? Is it the positive things in your life or the negative? Paul commanded Christians to let their mind dwell on the things that will glorify God not the thing that will bring them down. He said, "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable - if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise - dwell on these things."

Wouldn't it be great if we would put this single verse into practice? What gets your mind time? What do you tend to dwell on in your thoughts? Today's challenge is to focus our mind on the things that would bring us rejoicing and not sorry. Joy and not pain. Paul made it clear. He said, "Rejoice in the Lord. I will say it again, REJOICE!"

When we have Jesus it is enough. He has our life. Every aspect of it. We can and should trust Him. If we do, we should be able to rejoice in every circumstance. Rejoicing is a choice. It is the right choice.
