Monday Writing...6/10/19..."Dwell on These Things"

Good Morning,

This writing for Monday is concerned with the importance of listening to God's truth and to what is honorable. We are reminded to appreciate our own gifts and not go on wishing we had gifts of someone else. Comparison is a land mine to our hearts and minds. Bre wrote, "Let’s be careful about what we are consuming and dwelling on. Make sure it’s something about which God would be happy.''

Remember that our gifts are from God; He planned the exact gifts He wanted us to have, and He never makes mistakes.

Have a blessed week,
Bre Miller

"Dwell on These Things"
Written by
Bre Miller



“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, 
whatever is honorable, whatever is right, 
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, 
whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence
and if anything worthy of praise, 
dwell on these things.”
PHILIPPIANS 4:8 
NASB


This is something we can all work on, let’s admit it. The world likes to feed us things that are not of God and things that are sinful. Things that are negative. Something I’m very guilty of is corrupting my mind by comparing myself to others. Our society is so obsessed with weight and looks that you can’t go on Instagram without seeing “before and after”photos. We obsess over our appearance. For what? For God? No...for ourselves. Is trying to be like other people true? Is it honorable? Is it worthy of praise? 

Another thing to think about is that it’s okay for us to talk about problems and sort them out. It’s okay to know what’s going on in the world. What isn’t okay is DWELLING on such things. What we need to dwell on is The Word of God and His love. We need to be putting positive things in our minds, not the garbage of the world.  A popular saying I hear is “garbage in-garbage out,” and you know what? It’s so true! Sometimes, sayings are popular for a reason. 

The world tells us to meditate and center ourselves. It tells us to be involved in these New Age practices and we will be happier and healthier. Is that true? Is it right? Is it honorable? Is it pure? Certainly not! God tells us do not listen to the world. He also tells us that the only thing we should be meditating on is His Word. 

“This book of the law 
shall not depart from your mouth, 
but you shall meditate on it day and night, 
so that you may be careful to do according to all 
that is written in it; for then you will make  your way 
prosperous, and then you will have success.”
JOSHUA 1:8 
NASB

The verse above isn’t talking about money. It isn’t talking about health and wealth. It isn’t talking about measuring your success according to the world’s tape measure. It’s talking about success according to God and what He wants for us. 

“No one can serve two masters;
for either he will hate the one and love the other,
or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. 
You cannot serve God and wealth.”
MATTHEW 6:24 
NASB


God tells the truth, The World tells lies. So, let’s be careful about what we are consuming and dwelling on. Make sure it’s something God would be happy about.
