Phl 4:1, 8-9 "Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stay true to the Lord. I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work. ... And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me--everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you."
My Dearest Savior and Lord,
I long to put this into practice all day every day of the rest of my life. There is so much nagativity thrown at us everyday no matter where we are or what we are doing, it is hard to maintain a positive and pure thought life. The news is very disturbing, and one cannot turn on the TV without being sucked into sexy commercials even in a family type show.
Personally, Lord, You have convicted me to stay off the Social Media for this purpose. It is not only the unwanted ads but some pists are very disturbing from others than family. But also the fact that so much of my time is spent on things that do not have Kingdom importance. I need to fill my waking moments with Your Word, worthy music, literature that feeds the soul, and being with others who share Your passion face to face; sharing You with those around me. I cannot do that on a computer.
Precious Lord, I never want to go backwards in my walk with you, but always be advancing. I cannot allow myself to be distracted or I will never have Your peace.
I've Changed
