Think about whatever is lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy.

Friday, February 23, 2018

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 ‭NIV

Наконец, братия мои, что только истинно, что́ честно, что́ справедливо, что́ чисто, что́ любезно, что́ достославно, что́ только добродетель и похвала, о том помышляйте. Чему вы научились, что́ приняли и слышали и видели во мне, то́ исполняйте, — и Бог мира будет с вами.
‭‭Послание к Филиппийцам‬ ‭4:8-9‬ ‭SYNO‬‬

Let’s finish out the list today. What are some things that can go in these categories?

LOVELY - God

Flowers, mountains, snow

Eyes, hearts, smiles

Hummingbirds, foals

Sunsets

ADMIRABLE - God

People with integrity

The bottom line is that God is the answer to each of the things on this Scriptural check list. So if we focus on Him, everything else falls into place. 

Lord, as we keep this check list handy, help us to recognize you in all of these things. Help us to stay focused on you.
