Think on these things [ep. 318]

Speak Life Church

Philippians 4:8

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

This is a time of year when in the quietness of the seasons hustle and bustle we do the opposite we do the opposite. We think about what we don't have. We count our fails. We list our regrets. This is when the fear of missing out, motivates us to buy crap we don't need. This is the ultimate time of retail therapy. The truth is, you can't fill that hole in your soul with stuff. It's all just stuff. This stuff you can't take to heaven. This stuff that no one will value after you die. This stuff that won't be trendy a year from now. This stuff that piles up like torn wrapping paper after Christmas.

As you put up lights, to brighten your mood, as you shop till you drop, as you drink to access, as you look for someone to curl up with, so that you won't be in a dark place, think about Jesus, the Light of the world. The promise of God is the reason for the season. Proof that God is still looking out for you should be added to your list of wins.
