| take charge of your mind and emotions today |
- the single most significant decision i can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. it alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope
- my attitude is a direct reflection of what i think, which in turn affects how i respond to others
- Philippians 2:1-2 "If therefore there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose."
- there is encouragement in the Person of Christ. there is love. there is also plenty of "fellowship of the Spirit" for the Christian to enjoy. likewise, affection and compassion.
- Paul is telling us to take charge of our own minds; clearly a command
- we Christians have the the God-given ability to put our minds on those things that build up, strengthen, encourage, and help ourselves and others. "do that!" commands the Lord.
- reject those alien thoughts that make you a petty, bitter person.
- let your life yield a sweet, winsome melody.
