What are you thinking about these days? I am guessing if you are like a lot of people and have a steady diet of listening to the media, then you might not be thinking on the best of things. In fact, listening to the media can be depressing. One counselor made the comment that the four leading causes of depression in America was CNN, ABC, NBC, and Fox, because of all the bad news that is shared. Well maybe he has a point!
No wonder the Bible tells us in Php. 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is com-mendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” So, maybe watch a little less of the news media today and read your Bible a little more and focus on what is good. You will be glad you did.
