Think about these things.
—Philippians 4:8
Lists cause us to think, reevaluate, and sometimes change direction.
The Bible displays numerous lists. There’s a list of ten commandments, a list of things God hates, a list of beatitudes, a list of God-given gifts, lists of good fruits and bad.
I’ve made a short list of some things that I think will help you favorably navigate life. May I share it with you?
- Every morning, speak with God before speaking with anyone else.
- Pray twice as much as you gripe.
- Be careful how you use time and words; you can’t get either of them back.
- Overlook much, criticize little.
- Be thankful for the blessings you have and the problems you don’t have.
- In the give-and-take of life, give more than you take.
- Don’t let the important be displaced by the insignificant.
It’s a new day—
another chance to get it right.
