If we feel we are being bombarded daily with messages contrary to God's Word (and we are) -- we can choose to bombard ourselves with messages from God's Word -- words that bring us closer to Him!
We can focus on words that fill our minds and hearts with His specific messages for us.
Philippians 4:8 tells us how to do that: "Whatever is true...noble...right...pure...admirable...excellent...praiseworthy...think about those things."
So just as we carefully choose to eat to nourish our bodies, we must also be intentional about what we consume spiritually and mentally.
It's all about our free choice! We must seek out what is noble and right and pure and praiseworthy. We must align our actions with God's righteous standard.
It is our choice. Let's choose to dwell on things that bring us closer to God and experience the abundant life that Christ offers us.
It's our choice -- good choices become good habits!
A sample -- Lamentations 3
"Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning -- great is Your faithfulness."
There are hundreds more -- why not start a journal and write one down every day? Therefore we have hope....
