    Think About It.

    I recently began reading a book entitled The Battlefield of the Mind.  The author outlines how the chapters will be divided and she starts with our thoughts, claiming we need to think about what we spend our time thinking about. Makes sense right?  It’s not particularly deep, yet it struck a cord with me, what do I spend my time pondering?  We all have hopes, dreams and goals, and in our down time these things may occupy our thoughts. We also have worries, challenges, fears and everyday routines that are part of normal existence.  But have you ever got something STUCK in your thoughts and felt like you couldn’t turn it off?  Or maybe you have certain role plays in your mind, and you have a tendency to rerun them over and over.  It’s hard to be at peace when unpleasant thoughts fill our heads, they may even follow us into our sleep and reoccur as dreams.

    Last week I quoted the Bible’s book of Philippians in reference to looking not only to our own interests, but also to the interests of others in the spirit of teamwork. This week I quote again from the book of Philippians in regard to our thought life.  “Finally, brother (sisters too), whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, THINK about such things.”  Philippians 4:8, emphasis mine.   Some versions use the word meditate, instead of think.  Whatever is true, noble, right … meditate on these things.

    Granted, we can’t walk around all day thinking of rainbows and puppies, but we should be aware of what direction our mind tends to go when not engaged in specific tasks.  Think About It.
