“OUR THOUGHT LIFE!”
Philippians 4:8
“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.”
Picture with me a serene lake setting. On the far side of the lake is a high mountain peak with patches of snow from the previous winter. The water is glassy smooth with barely a ripple. As you gaze at the water you can see a perfect reflection of the mountain scene — a mirror image. The more the water is disturbed, however, the less of the mountain you see.
God wants us to have a relationship with Him that reflects His glory. It is not us but Him that matters. The more we are preoccupied with ourselves the less of His image is reflected in us. The more we allow the things of this world to trouble the “waters of our soul,” the less of Jesus they will see.
In today’s Scripture we have the promise of God’s peace. The assurance that God gives us in this verse is that the things we meditate on determine how we view the world and all that is in it. The path to finding inner peace? Our thought life! A computer term fits well here: GIGO(garbage in, garbage out). We need to change that to Glory in, Glory out!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
