Bible Verse of The Day – 4-1-22

Philippians 4:8 (NKJV) 8 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.

During these seasons of so much turmoil in the world, there is plenty that we could be thinking about that’s not necessarily fruitful for us.

There is negative activity all around us. We don’t even have to look hard to find it!

And while there may be some things related to current events that are necessary to discuss from time to time, it’s important that we don’t let ourselves get caught up in it or consumed by it.

Spending the hours of our days wrapped up in this type of thing will change us. It will cause us to be constantly angry and frustrated. And it will distract us from our walk with God if we’re not careful.

So, even when there are important things regarding the current state of the world that we need to discuss or be involved in for various reasons, we need to be careful to keep the things of God first on our list of priorities.

We need to continue to feed on His word. We need to continue to listen for the voice and the promptings of the Holy Spirit. And we need to continue to obey God’s leading, staying focused on things that are true, pure, noble, lovely, virtuous, of good report and praiseworthy.

If we’re careful to do this, we will find that we spend way less time frustrated and angry with what we see.

Trust God. He is still in control, even when it might look like the enemy is winning.
