Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Philippians 4:8 NIV

You and I can transform our thinking by choosing to focus on the things that are good. Just as an Olympic runner trains his or her body to run the race to win in all types of terrain and weather, you and I can discipline our minds to be grateful and to find good in the most wretched of circumstances by keeping our eyes focused on the cross with a view to eternity.

“Authentic joy can always be recognized by the indispensable leap in faith that precedes it…Those who experience more joy don’t necessarily have more to be joyful about; they just think differently.”(Tommy Newberry, The 4:8 Principle)

Do you need to do a thought check today?🚦
