What Kind of Relationship Are YOU In?
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure (untainted), whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report (praiseworthy); if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise dwell on these things" (Philippians 4:8).
Character and conduct begin in the mind!!! Our actions are affected by the things we dwell on in our thoughts. Paul here cautions his readers to concentrate on things that will result in right living and growth in the will and ways of God. Remember to do as Peter said: "Casting all your care upon HIM; for HE careth for YOU." Our burdens/troubles/trials/tests will never overtake us as long as our relationship remains strong with God and we seek Him first...
