Philippians 4:8-9

Philippians 4:8-9 
English Standard Version (ESV)

  When we're trying to size up a loan for a nursing home, we use the phrase "garbage in, garbage out."  Meaning that if we have bad data, our loan sizing is unlikely to be accurate.  The same is true of your health -- if you eat terrible food and take bad supplements, your body is going to reflect those choices. 
  What we often don't think about is that our minds work the same way -- if you consume garbage, your mind is going to have a hard time thinking righteous and holy thoughts.  If you spend all day focused on violence or consumerism, you're likely to think a lot about violence or consumerism.  In the same way, if you feed your mind with good things, you'll likely think good thoughts.  If you surround yourself with people who speak encouragement and hope, your mind is likely to be filled with encouragement and hope.  If you keep Scripture in the front of your mind, your thoughts are more likely to drift to God and to look for how God is on the move in the world.
  There are a million apps and methods and strategies to have small pieces of Scripture be present throughout your day.  Find one that works.  Pay attention to what you watch on television, to what you read -- what you think on will shape how you think and speak and live.
