Count Your Blessings

Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, wahtever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable - if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise - dwell on these things.  Philippians 4:8 HCSB

How will your direct your thoughts today?  Will you obey the words of Philippians 4:8 by dwelling upon those things that are honorable, just, and commendable? Or will you allow your thoughts to be hijacked by the negativity that seems to dominate our troubled word? Are you fearful, angry, bored, or worried?  Are you so preoccupied with the concerns of this day that you fail to thank God for hte promise of eternity? Are you confused, bitter, or pessimistic? If so, God watns to have a little talke with you.

God intends that you experience joy and abundance. So, today and every day hereafte, celebrate the life that God has given you by focusing your thoughts upon those things that are worthy of praise. Today, [you have no other day in which to work] count your blessings instead of your hardships. Look into God's Word and view His great and preciosu promises. No one can do this for you. They may guide you but you ultimately and finally must view them for yourselves.  These great and precious promises will come to life in your heart and bring life into you that you haven't had or haven't experienced in a while. Then thank God for all things good and gifts that are simply too numerous to count.

Proverbs 15:15 - "A cheerful heart has a continual feast."
