Peace Day 40
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.
Philippians
4:8
It is easy to become distracted and lose sight of God’s ways.
The world gives us so many alternative messages that we may easily lose focus. Instead
of focusing on Him, the world says that it is all about us. In the world, we
are told to focus on our pleasure, our money, our materials, or simply to
accept popular culture - even if it goes against God’s Word.
When
we evaluate whether our lives are focused on the right things, we can simply
ask ourselves a few questions. Is there any virtue in what we are
thinking or doing? Are our thoughts and actions noble and just
or self-serving? Do we pursue what is true and pure or lie in order to
get what we want? Are our actions worthy of good report or tales of
secret sins? Do we seek those things that are lovely and pleasing to
God and meditate on them for guidance?
Let
us focus our thoughts on godly ambitions and have our minds set on where God
wants us to be. He has a unique path and plan for each of us that is both to
His glory and for our good. Let us not miss out on the opportunities He places
before us. Let us stay focused and meditate on Him and His ways.
