"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Proverbs 23:7
"Think about what you're thinking about!" (Meyers, pg 26).
Page 27 goes on to say that if you dwell on what is right in your life rather than what is wrong, then your lives will be happier and more peaceful.
"focus on God's grace and give thanks for all the good things in my life. I don't want to focus on what I don't have." (pg 27)
Our thoughts determine our happiness and our destiny (pg. 27).
Prayer:
"Dear patient and loving God, I ask you to forgive me for focusing my thoughts on things that are not pleasing to You. I pray that You will help me fill my mind with thoughts that are clean and pure and uplifting. In Jesus' name. Amen." (pg 29).
Thoughts:
A movie that I really liked as a young adult was Monty Python's the Life of Brian. In the movie, Brian is on a crucifix with two other criminals waiting to die. They bust out in a song about life being hard, that the best thing to do was "Always look on the Bright Side of Life!"
After all of these years, I still love that verse. No matter what life throws at you, don't dwell on the bad, look at the good and keep your eyes focused on God.
