And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.
Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.
Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Philippians 4:8 NLT
This "catch all" phrase:
- excellent
- worthy of praise
It's like a plea.
There's so much that is mediocre, so much in this world that is just awful, but if we fix our thinking on what is truly good, the things that are worthy of praise we'll start to see the world, our circumstances, and our selves, differently.
What will you see?
The genius of God's creation.
The wonder and beauty of people.
The glory of who God is.
The outrageous gift that grace is
What will you see?
When you focus on what is excellent.
On what is praise worthy.
Paul tells me where to fix my thoughts. I just need to follow his instruction, to keep choosing to, until it becomes me.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
