Thinking Junk?

Have you ever driven by one of those informational signs that's had something on it that makes you chuckle or smile? I've been driving by one this week that says "Your attitude is your thought life turned inside out." If this doesn't make you think a little I don't know what would :) Obviously what is shown on the outside is the fruit of what's going on in the inside. Have you ever wondered what someone was thinking? At times I'm sure you wouldn't want to know what they're thinking, but you'd probably have an idea because of their attitude. Just like everyone else I have to make sure my thinking is on what it should be. One of the most impacting Scriptures in my life has been Philippians 4:8, which explains, "...you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse"(The Message). So what am I going to fill my mind with today? What am I going to meditate on? If we choose to do what the Bible instructs in this verse, today we'll need to make some choices. As Christians, we shouldn't be filling our minds and meditating on junk, gossip, slander, doubt, etc. As Christians aren't we supposed to be better than that! Don't forget that what we think about today will be very obvious to everyone around us, because of our attitudes and words. Life is too short to think about junk! Today let your mind think on the things it should :)
