to GOD be the GLORY
~ Thinking About Such Things ~
By Deborah Ann
Whatever that is true,
that which shines of His light
whatever that will fill you . . .
with God’s power and His might.
Think about such things,
before you start your day
it will help keep you from
following the world’s way.
Whatever that is honest,
that which is sincere
whatever that will help you
to overcome your fear.
Think about such things,
as you go about the day
and to the world’s ideals
your soul, they’ll not sway.
Whatever that is just,
right, proper and moral
whatever that will keep you
from doing what’s immoral.
Think about such things,
all throughout your day
and to the world’s lusts
you’ll quickly turn away.
Whatever that is pure,
undiluted and untainted
whatever that’ll keep the truth
from being contaminated.
Think about such things,
no matter the time of day
and by the worldly teachers
you will not be lead astray.
Whatever that is lovely,
beautiful and divine
whatever that brings peace
to your heart and mind.
Think about such things,
whether it be night or day
and to the world’s thoughts
your faith, will not decay.
Whatever things are lovely,
what brings to mind the Good News
whatever things give praise to God
let them be the thoughts you choose!
~~~~~~~~~~
“Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there
be any praise, think on these things.â€
