Maximize Excellence

Two little symbols at the top of my screen — a straight line and a square box — I use them all the time. Hit the maximize box and an image fills my screen. Click the minimize line and it disappears.

I need a a box and a line for my brain. 


Philippians 4:8 (NLT)

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Maximize the excellent thoughts. Minimize the rest.

 


Good morning, Lord. I can’t control which thoughts pop into my head, but I can control what I do with them. Forgive me for letting negative ideas take over my mind. Teach me to maximize the excellent and minimize the worthless, to focus on the good and turn away from the bad.


“May the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O my Rock and my Redeemer”
(Psalm 19:14).
