I have heard so many people discuss the idea that they are unable to "think about anything but..."(whatever may be worrying them or in the news, etc.) It took me until recent months to understand and accept the belief that I CAN CHOOSE what is in my mind. Today's devotional is such a blessed reminder of the importance of keeping God's Presence in our mind/thoughts in order to receive His Rest and Renewal.
Another scripture passage that makes this point so clear and that has spoken to me time and again is from Philippians 4:8-9:
8 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. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
I pray that you will join me today in focusing on this passage along with the thoughts from today's devotional as we worship our Lord. Also, please share with me and others any additional scriptures or hymns that will help us keep our minds focused on God.
