Sunday's Verse of the Day Devotional

Good morning! The mind is a powerful thing. What you think on is extremely important. The thoughts you keep will be the thoughts that direct your life and develop your belief system. Be careful what thoughts you keep.

You have the choice of what thoughts you let stay in your mind. You can't stop the thoughts from coming, but you can keep them from staying. It's not the thoughts that come and go, but the thoughts that come and stay that are pivotal for your life.

What thoughts are you allowing to stay that should go? This verse tells us a pattern for changing our thought life. Don't waste your time on lies, but think on the truth. Think about honorable things, righteous things, pure and lovely things. Whatever is good, virtuous and praiseworthy, think on these things.

If you think on these things, the God of peace will be with you. You will live a life pleasing to Him and that glorifies Him. Learn to discipline your mind to stop the thoughts that shouldn't be there and to stay focused on this pattern of thinking instead. Then, you will learn how to make every day a great day!
