What do you see before or around you?

Text:Proverbs 15:30, Titus 1:15,Phillipians 4:8,1John2:4-6 Some people see good always around them, while others see nothing but only evil.The difference comes from what we expose our minds to, either thinking and meditating on the finished work of the cross and thinking and meditating on the word of grace and allow the Holy Spirit to control our minds or focusing and giving more attention to the world and it's allurements.(Matthew 6:22-23).If our heart is pure and believing, we will see all things as pure.If our heart is defiled and unbelieving, we see everything as impure.Our mind and conscience filters all that we see around based on whether our heart is believing or unbelieving.What we choose to fill our minds with or think about determines how we perceive things and the way we act.Phillipians 4:8 tells us what to think about:should be excellent , praiseworthy and be of good report. When we turn our thoughts to God and His word, we will discover more goodness even in situations that seems contrary.Such minds have little or no room for what is evil. From Titus 1:16 we see that our conduct reflect what we believe.Our lifestyle speaks about what we value in life and whether we have ordered our lives around what is important in the kingdom of God. By watching our lives, people will know about God and about our faith. Set your affection and mind on things that are above that is spiritual things than on physical things we see that are temporal and subject to change. God bless you as you read.
