Think About Such Things

 

     Look beyond the stars this weekend to the heavens. The purposes and plans of God are beyond what we see and touch. As we fumble through this life, seeking answers to unanswerable questions, think on our Holy God. We won’t understand the fallen world around us and the suffering we experience. But God redeems, He reminds, He restores and He renews. Think beyond the stars to His truth.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Philippians 4:8

     The words above speak volumes in opposition to what we see and hear in the world around us each day and what we think, feel and say each day. Look above and beyond to what is pure and excellent, what is lovely and true, what is praiseworthy. It is Jesus. Think about such things.

Jesus,

We thank You for reminding us of what is true and lovely and excellent. Keep our minds steadfast on You today and always. Restore our hearts to trust You.

Amen
