don’t) a lovely home, a lovely dress or a lovely family. Sometimes it is easy to fall into the trap of meditating on all the bad, all of the negative, unlovely, unpleasant events, contentious people and unfortunate circumstances around us. What we think about has a dramatic effect on our life as a whole and contributes immensely to our attitude and actions. We have to be attentive to what we allow into our life. If we feed on the bad news of the world, which is designed to be negative, we will be negative, critical and in an overall sour state of mind. If we feed on that which is lovely, wonderful and uplifting, our attitude will reflect it.

We have to maintain a correct biblical worldview. This world has plenty of negative, evil and notsolovely. The believer is in it (the world), but we are not to be of it. This world is not our home. The Bible says, “set your mind on things above where Christ is” not on this world. (Colossians 3:2). Knowing that our future is not only secure but will be “above what we can ask or think.” Eye has not seen, nor ear heard nor entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for them that love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9). Next week, we will consider a good report and excellence.
