Seeds of Thought

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. - Philippians 4:8 NKJV

Reflection
Our hearts are like gardens, and our thoughts are like seeds. Seeds of love, hope, and faith produce beautiful flowers in our lives. Seeds of hate, despair, and fear yield weeds and thorns. Overthinking the wrong things allows weeds to grow, while meditating on God’s truths produces peace and hope.  

Application
➤ Meditate on what is worthy of praise rather than on what brings fear or despair. 
➤ Abide in God’s Word to strengthen your mind. 
➤ Sow seeds of love, hope, and faith.

Connection
Thank You, Lord, for helping me take every thought captive to Christ. Guard my thoughts and let them bear fruit for Your glory. Keep me strong in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
