We must continually choose to keep our minds set on the higher things. Set your minds on the things which are above. Notice again there is something that we are to be do, we must continually choose, day on and day out. Twenty four hours a day, to keep our minds set on the higher things. What are the things that are above? Quite simply, they are the positive things of God. Whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, and whatever things are pure. Whatever things are lovely. Whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.
No matter what you are going through, if you look hard enough and keep the right attitude, you can find something good about experience. If you get laid off at work, you can choose to be negative and better and blame God. God, I know You are in control of my life and when one door closes, You always open a bigger and better door. God, I cannot wait to see what You have in store for me.
You must make a choice to keep your mind focused on the highest things. It is not going to automatically happen. You must be determined and put forth some effort if you are going to keep your mind set on the good things of God and experience His best.
When troubles strike, often the first thoughts the come to mind are not higher thoughts, they are not positive thoughts. Negative thoughts bombard us from every possible angle. Right there, we must choose to trust God for good things and not allow ourselves to be done and discouraged or just give up.
If you chose to stay focused on the positive and keep your mid set on the good things of God, all the forces of darkness are not going to able to keep you from moving forward and fulfill in your destiny. But if you make the mistake of dwelling on the negative, focusing on your problems and your impossibilities, it is similar to putting that car in reverse and backing away from the victory God has in store for you. You must decide which way want to go.
