Last week was an up and down roller coaster for me. One day would be great, the next would leave in some kind of funk that just put me in a bad mood. I could blame it on the six inches of snow we got last week, but I think it runs deeper than that.
This morning I was spending some time in Philippians, and I was drawn to the popular passage 4:8, where it talks about your thoughts. I challenges the reader think think on things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, anything worthy of praise. As I think back to my week, I can most likely guess what was running through my head continually during those bad days. It was mostly negative thoughts, generally directed at people in my life.
I was challenged today to really watch what I'm thinking about, and to ask God for thoughts of things that align with Philippians 4:8. "Where you invest your love, there you invest your life" In my experience, the things we think about, are also the things we love. Therefore, I'm investing my life in my thoughts.
"Therefore, I'm investing my life in my thoughts." That is wisdom in action.
