LIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT

“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.  Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:8-9
            “Right thinking results in right living.”1 Paul offers sound advice for the Philippian believers and for us today.   Our minds are crowded with many thoughts vying for our attention.  If we allow our minds to focus on those things described above, we will know God’s presence in our lives. 
We simply cannot live as we please and expect God to bless and honor that.  God has a plan for each of our lives.  Some would rather make their own decisions without what they may consider to be Holy interference.  In the end things begin to unravel and they realize they took the wrong path.  God knows us so well that He has the very hairs on our head numbered (Matthew 10:30, Luke 12:7).  He knows our heart and judges us based on its condition. 
Spending our time entertaining angry, vengeful, sexual or evil thoughts is highly counter productive and will never take us where God seeks to lead us.  Keeping a calm demeanor and allowing God to work in you by His Holy Spirit will help you achieve that which He knows is best for you.  Use Christ as your measuring stick.  Seek to live your life as He lived His.
The catch phrase What Would Jesus Do? (WWJD?) is a fair question to ask ourselves.  God’s children should resemble their Heavenly Father. We’re all a work in progress.  Submit to His leading and the peace of God that passes all understanding will be with you (Philippians 4:7).  Until next time walk with the King and be a blessing!
