“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best
by filling your minds and meditating on things true, nobel
reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst;
the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.”
-Philippians 4:8 MSG

A Time to Think … “Live one day without any unhealthy thoughts. It may be difficult, but try another day until it becomes habitual.”  ―Ruth Stafford Peale

A Time to Act … As we wake up to a new day let us be determined to get rid of thoughts that bring us down. Instead, let’s look to the rising sun and the Risen Son to hold those thoughts captive and release those thoughts God wants us to ponder and use in this day…and perhaps, in doing so this can be a daily habit for us as well!

A Time to Pray… O Lord, it is a new day and I so want to embrace the grace of this day and the blessings you have for me. Help me to push aside the thoughts that drag me down, and fill me with the joy of living for you. O Spirit of God, light my way along your path so that all I do leads me toward the destination You have for me. In Jesus name I ask it, AMEN.
