Do you have a favorite bible verse? One of my favorite scriptures is in the book of Philippians that Paul wrote. Philippians 4:8-9 says, “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praise worthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” This scripture reminds me that God doesn't want us to ponder or think about immoral things. These things can be things we watch, read, listen to or think about. What we put into our mind determines our actions and the way we talk. Living in this world is hard enough with all the immoral things around me, so I try to remember this scripture when I am tempted by such things.
In order for me to apply Gods principle, it is important that I read the bible and go to church so that I know Gods words and what he expects of me. Not only is it good to read and learn Gods word but it is also good to put it into practice. God set the example for us to follow and I don't want to let him down. It is important to make these kinds of things an every day habit to open the bible and learn something new every day from the Lord. This is a good tool in scripture to use because life is not easy and there are so many temptations around me everyday. It’s not easy and I fail everyday, but I have the bible and Gods grace and forgiveness each and every day .
