“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
Philippians 4:8
In our 40 steps closer sermon series, today's step is:
Think about what is good
Our actions flow out of our thoughts. The word "whatever" comes up a lot in Philippians 4:8. There is so much good for us to fix our thoughts on!
In today's world, our screen time is built to sell to us. In doing so, they grab our attention by trying showing us what is shocking, fearful, violent, pornographic, or polarizing. Companies and media groups want us to feel angry and afraid. How can we change this?
- spend time together
- spend time outside
- practice thanksgiving
- study scripture
We are imitative beings. We are formed spiritually by what we take in. Sometimes we need to change the channel, put the phone down, delete the app or put a time limit on it.
There is no lack of true, noble, praiseworthy, and good things in God's world. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. Let's think on these things.
