Finally brethern, whatever is true, whatever is honorble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise let your mind dwell on these things. Phillipians 4:8

Good Afternoon! Have you noticed that the bookstores are filled with information on positive thinking? Advertisments focus on look-good-feel-good campaigns, especially if you use their products to loose weight, vanish wrinkles, or grow hair. No matter what you need to improve your self image someone has discovered the answere for you!

The best prescription for developing a strong self-image and a positive attitude is the one God inspired Paul to write in Philippians. When my mind drifts away into negative, impure and false thought patterns, I am reminded to turn my focus on the truth…that which is right, pure, holy, lovely and excellent. Then I am able to offer God praise for all that is around me. A positive thought life inspires a grateful heart.

Today as you complete the tasks before you, open your eyes that you might identify God’s presense in your workplace and then let your mind dwell on these “excellent” things.
