Today's devotional is an excellent reminder of the importance of
keeping our thoughts focused on our Lord! I had never thought about my
thoughts (including worries) becoming my god/idols! What about you? Are you like me in that you find yourself thinking more about worldly things such as "I would really like to have a new..." rather than our Lord? Sarah Young's words that were rather alarming were: "Whatever occupies your mind the most becomes you god."
Today's scripture passages along with Philippians 4:8 are very clear in guiding us to keep our minds where they should be: "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." I pray that God will help me keep my mind on these things!!
What do you think our world would be like if every Christian followed these words of guidance?
