It is easy to get caught up on the things that aren't right. But a friend recently reminded me today of a simple yet profound truth. Don't dwell on the negative- think on the things that true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and things are of good repute. So today, I am practicing that idea.
What things are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and of good repute?
God loves me. He has a plan for my life that is good. He is in control and he has a say on all things that are going on in my life- even the obstacles that seem insurmountable.
God has blessed me with a great husband- even when he drives me crazy!! I have a home and we have two vehicles that work. I have a comfortable and warm bed to sleep in at night with extra blankets when needed. We have Bibles that we can read at any time that we want. We have access to good Christian teaching at our church, on the radio, and internet. We live in Orange County California in the USA. We have the right and freedom to worship as we choose (at least today) and we don't have to worry about losing our life for speaking the truth. I have a job (for this year) and God always provides for our needs and even our wants. We have family that loves us and that supports us. We have good friends that love us and pray for us.
We can take a shower when we want, we are able to eat 3 meals a day and have the means and accessibility to meet our needs.
We are blessed beyond measure and we are thankful to God for all the blessings that He has bestowed upon us.
These are the things on which we need to dwell. Thank you Jesus.
