Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Let's get our minds out of the gutter and get our hearts focused on God's glory. Let's get our minds out of the focus on problems, difficulties, and horrible things we see in our world today and remind ourselves of God's goodness and the glorious things that pertain to him. If "we become what we behold," then let's choose to focus our gaze on:
...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.

My Prayer...

Righteous and Holy God, you are marvelous and glorious, perfect in every way and beyond my comprehension. Please awaken the character of your holiness within me through the power of your Holy Spirit. I don't want minor changes, but the Spirit's transformation to become more like Jesus. Please help me see and focus upon the good and glorious things that reflect your nature and not the divisiveness, sleeze, and fluff of my world. In Jesus' name, I pray for your help to rise above the meaningless, vain, and nasty things of my world and focus on you and your glory so I can bring others to you. Amen.
