Think Together

Read: Philippians 4:4-13

If there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. —Philippians 4:8

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 5-6; Ephesians 1

An executive of the world's largest toymaker said, "We are such a machine in terms of what we deliver on an annual basis that it doesn't allow time to think."

In an effort to stimulate creativity, this company is taking selected employees out of corporate headquarters and encouraging them to think together in new ways. For instance, when asked to devise a method to prevent an egg from breaking if dropped from 14 feet, one group went beyond the conventional approach of trying to cushion its fall and created an egg bungee cord.

What about us? Are our lives so focused on activity and production that we don't take time to think? In Paul's letter to the Philippians, he told them to meditate on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and of good report (4:8). What would happen if we began this kind of thinking together in our churches and homes? Might we discover creative, God-given approaches to problems that seem to defy solution? Would our perspective on life undergo a radical change?

"Meditate on these things" is a great command. Obeying it with our families and other believers could open doors of discovery for helping others, serving God, and living for Him. Now that's something to think about! —David McCasland

Lord, help us to think of the right and the true,
The pure and the noble—it all points to You;
For if we consider what's worthy of praise,
We'll then want to live for You all of our days. —Fitzhugh

Right thinking leads to right living.

The National Weather Service has issued a warning for yet another
catastrophic hurricane following on the heels of Charley, Ivan
and Jeanne. The path of this hurricane zigs and zags, and is
therefore highly unpredictable. Experts predict that this one will
cause the most damage to the United States that we have experienced in
four years. They are naming this one Hurricane Kerry.
Be advised, the only way for citizens to protect themselves is by being
behind a Bush.
