"Think About Such Things..."



"Finally, brothers, 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... and the God of peace will be with you."

- Philippians 4:8

I heard this quote today. I heard it and for some reason it just hit me. I don't read the Bible like that. As a matter of fact, I can count with one hand the times I've read through it. But for some reason, this just spoke to me. What exactly does it mean? I'm not sure. All I know is that I haven't been thinking about such things lately; at all. I've been thinking about things that don't keep me in peace. I haven't been thinking about anything lovely or pure. I've been thinking about stuff that makes me sad. Stuff that stresses me out. Stuff that makes me mad at the world. Stuff that is beyond my control. I feel like I need to get in touch with my spiritual side. Maybe meditation? Maybe some yoga? Or maybe, just maybe, I need to start believing in him again. Maybe I just have to have faith.
