What’s On Your Mind?

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I find my mind running on overload. Over the years I have had a love hate relationship with cutting grass. I love to cut grass because I desperately need the exercise.

But I find that when I cut the grass my mind tends to go on overdrive. When that happens I find myself thinking too much. Sometimes the thinking is good – and sometimes the thinking is not so good.

The late Zig Ziglar refers to negative thinking as “stinkin’ thinkin.” Come on now – you’ve been there?

I have been trying to memorize Scripture this summer and am working on Philippians 4:8. Paul lays it out there pretty clearly about how to change our “stinkin’ thinkin’” into thinking godly thinking.

Brothers – think about whatever is:

True
Honorable
Just
Pure
Lovely
Commendable
Excellent
Praiseworthy

THINK ON THOSE THINGS. Hmmm.  So one of my projects is to do a word study on those qualities and in the process I am asking the Holy Spirit to help me think on those things – in my marriage – with my kids – with my co-workers.

Hey – what are you thinking about? Are you stuck in the stinkin’ thinkin’ mode? Then why not join me in thinking about and on the right things. Let’s do it together.

Running the race with joy,
