Dear friends, one of my favorite scriptures is found in Phillipians 4;8-9, from the message bible....
'Summing it all up friends, I'd say you will do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious, the best, not the worst, the beautiful, not the ugly, things to praise, not things to curse....In the hurry up and rush world that we live in, this sometimes is hard to do, especially if you watch the news, I have asked myself time and time again ,how can I stay in this mind set? the answer I come up with is thought monitoring, keep my thoughts in check, when I stay focused, it goes well, but if I relax a bit, I find myself hearing or speaking of things that are not so much in line with this verse, any advice on staying focused?
