Daily Devotional by Angie Wahl

"Whatever"

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, 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.

I am not sure about you but I can get impatient. I hate waiting for traffic lights and I especially dislike "challenging " drivers, those who drive too slow for me or don't look before turning or changing lanes. Needless to say this means I am NOT thinking about all the whatevers in this verse, in fact, quite the opposite.

I have been convicted of this recently so I have been led in a new direction. When feeling challenged, try spotting someone doing a GOOD job in traffic. Someone who slows to let you in, or navigates multiple lane changes without disrupting traffic. Take a moment to think: "great job." This changes your "whatevers" and you will find yourself thinking on what is excellent, praise worthy etc. This works in the workplace and grocery stores too!  Let's stop "stinkin' thinkin'"

One day at a time with His guidance,
