Quality of Life

“Finally, brothers and sisters, 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. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”

Philippians 4:8-9 NIV

 

Here lies a progression that I’ve talked about before, but today in my devotion time it was laid out simple from this scripture.  

 

• thought (“think about such things”) to
• action (“put it into practice”) to
• experience (“the God of peace will be with you”).

 

This applies to just about everything when dealing with our thought life and the reality we live in. 

 

Just by our thoughts we can be sucked into a hole of negativity and no one will know why. This happens often when we look at someone else’s standards, and we try to adopt to their ways instead of being inspired to adapt and adjust. Wabi Sabi is about our uniqueness, and how we are fearfully and wonderfully made. 

 

Reverse engineering this talk:

• Our experiences with God and others are the results of the actions we take on our thoughts. 
• The actions we take are the results of the options available to us because of our thinking. 
• The thoughts we have are the results of the kind of brain food you feed yourself, what you are putting into your head. 

 

Raise the quality of your thoughts, you will have better quality experiences in your life.
