You Become What You Think


Today's Bible Study at church talked about the decision of being positive about circumstances around you. Being positive does not come naturally, but being negative does! I liked the author's quote: (Wood, Cindi; The Frazzled Female)

"I realized that it was no easy thing to get rid of negative thinking. I frequently had to trash the negative thoughts. I can tell you this created plenty of room to store the positive ones. And if I didn't hurry and put the positive ones in the negative ones would rush back in to fill the space! Our minds cannot hold a void. Something has to be in there!"

What do you want your Something to be?! Well, I asked myself this question, and the answer is the Scriptures! The first verse that came to my mind was my blog's title verse found in Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, 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."


Matthew 12:34 says: "For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. Let's fill our hearts with true, noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable things :)
