Sorry I missed a post yesterday! It was a busy day! But here is a scripture and song for today!
Scripture:
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, what- ever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. (Philippians 4:8)
I find myself many times caught up in the things of the world. I hear curse words daily. I see things on the TV that are not of God. And I feel anger and depression. When we come in contact with these things it makes it hard to just think about God and put all this other junk out of our minds to contemplate on He who matters most. To be honest, how do you deal with seeing a half naked woman/man on TV? I usually have to turn the TV to a different channel or don't watch TV at all. I think that at all times our mind needs to be on God. One tip I got from some women at the church I attend was that on the hour every hour we should reset our focus to make sure it is on God. Set an alarm clock for every hour until you get to where it becomes a habit. Then our minds will constantly be on things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely. admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy! We need to learn to think about the good things and not focus so much on the bad!

Lord Prepare Me
I really love this song. I know that I as a Christian, want God to prepare me to be a sanctuary for Him. That way I can have that peace and comfort to take to those who are lost and need the hope that Jesus Christ gives us. I want to be a sanctuary to do His work.

ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, i found your very interesting blog on the blogger forum. 'To be honest, how do you deal with seeing a half naked woman/man on TV? I usually have to turn the TV to a different channel or don't watch TV at all'. I live in England and it is the same problem here. I have cut down a lot my time watching tv, especially tv reality, selecting carefully films or documentaries but I agree with you the choice is poor. May the Lord bless you and your family in abundance.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! May God Bless You.
