WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? 7

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

THINK OF THINGS OF GOOD REPORT

Wouldn't you love to hear a news report where nothing bad happened.  No murders, robberies, scandals, protests, etc.  Just good news.  That would probably be a first.  It seems that the worst news gets the best ratings.  People seem to be drawn to the horrible things that happen in the world.

On the other hand don't you just love to see someone who has good news to share.  I enjoy it so much when people share their blessings with me.  (Not so much when they complain and share their drama.)  So often we have so many good things to think about but we let the problems take up too much of our mind.

Think on the things of good report.  Rejoice not only in your own blessings but in the blessings of others.  We should share in the joy with others who God has blessed.

There might be a world full of bad things going on out there.  We don't have to spend all our time thinking about them.  Look for the good stuff.  Think about the good stuff.  Share the good stuff with others.  You would be surprised at how much more people will enjoy being around you and listening to you if you are spreading around the good stuff.
