Minding the Kingdom
"Think about things that are pure and lovely, think about things that are right and true. Dwell on the fine good things in others and think about all you can praise God for. And be glad about it and sing to The Lord. And be glad about it and give thanks to The Lord!"
In the crevices of our memory and in our darker thoughts we are too often drawn to the opposite of Kingdom minding; the pain, the impure, the disfigured, the worst in ourselves or others.
Set your thinking according to the mind of Christ. The invitation of each moment in each new day is the sublime minding of Jesus on the throne of our hearts. Here we can enter into the joyful dance of Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit's shared thought life! As we co-mingle with their Divine thinking we are lifted to places otherwise unknown and certainly not visited enough! Be exhilarated with 'Them' as they are 'minding' together the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.When we enter into and share their thinking we reflect their character.
3-6 "Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God’s Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears." (Phil. 1: 3-6, Msg)
