Finally, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8 MKJV)

People who spend more time thinking about the problem of sin than they do looking at its Solution are missing the point to their purpose in life. We aren’t here to think about how bad we are, but to experience how good God is.

Instead of meditating on our failures we should look to the one who knows no failure, that is, we ought to be focusing our attention on Jesus. If we aren’t doing that, then we aren’t living life to the fullest.

Indeed, there’s no better place to put our thoughts than in Jesus Christ.
