"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." -Philippians 4:8-9 (NASB)
Sometimes we get frustrated, throw up our arms, and say, "Whatever!" We sometimes find it easier to walk away than try to figure things out or look for reasons to praise God. Instead of getting frustrated, we can stop and look for some different, positive "whatevers"!
Instead of walking away, we can look for whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and of good repute. When we start to look for these positive qualities, we can find reasons to praise God. We can focus on these positives. We can practice the good "whatevers" and experience peace knowing that God is with us!
When you say, "Whatever!" stop and look for all of the good "whatevers" that give you reason to praise God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being with me and giving me Your peace. Help me to always look for the good "whatevers" so that I will see Your goodness, power, and glory. Allow me to share Your good with others. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
