Thinking

The last couple of posts have been based on saying positive things over your life. This post is going to direct you towards thinking positive thoughts into your daily life. Speaking and thinking go hand in hand. IF you think positive, then you will speak positive. Renew your mind with thoughts that are going to benefit you, not worry you or defeat you. The Bible simply says:

“For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].”
- Philippians 4:8

If God is instructing us to be positive in our thinking, then we know it’s for our best interest. He is nurturing us with this instruction.
Think of it like this: You have two choices in every situation. You have a positive outlook and you have a negative outlook. What’s the best choice? Which is more helpful and productive? (I hope you’ve answered…positive outlook).
You can probably recall someone in your life that at some point was negative and down. Have you ever walked into a room and sense someone is upset or angry or negative? Negative energy has a life of its own. If negativity breeds then why wouldn’t positivity? Positivity is what you want to breed. Let the positive energy be your calling card. The next time you walk into a room, let people sense your Philippians 4:8.
Happy Thinking…

  1. in most cases people think before they speak...all things are first thoughts so thinking is just as important as speaking!! I try to encourage the same thing with Gratitude Wednesdays on my blog!! Thanks for the post!!
