Take the time to... THINK OF WHAT IS RIGHT

~Friday for Friends~

This is the tenth post in the Take the Time series. The rest are Take the Time to Listen, Encourage, Talk With Someone, Stop Gossip, Forgive, Calm Down, Plan Ahead, Smile, and Thank God.

Sometimes we just drift around in the current. We don’t take the time to realize that we are making decisions today that we would have thought appalling a year ago, that our thoughts are turning to things that used to have a taboo on them. We need to constantly remind ourselves that, though we may be growing up, some things are not meant to be changed.

"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." Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

Our thoughts are important. They should be kept in check as well as our actions.

How about you? Have you drifted away? How do you keep thinking of what is pure?
