Things to do and think about

How we are to think

  • Philippians 4:8
    8  Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.


What our life should show

  • Galatians 5:22-23
    22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
    23  gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.


Be happy, do good, and enjoy your work

  • Ecclesiastes 2:24-26
    24  A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God,
    25  for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?
    26  To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
