The other day I was out in the yard pulling weeds. I had my bucket and gloves and just wanted to clean up a few areas where I noticed a few of the annoying volunteers starting to take over.

Soon I discovered that all the weeds were in areas where the ground was bare. None were in the lawn which was full and growing.

It made me think about Philippians 4:8 and how we need to fill our minds with what is true, right, pure, lovely, excellent and praiseworthy. Then, with our minds full like the lawn areas, the seeds of the enemy can’t take root in our thinking.

That’s the topic of the video above. I also wrote more about this in my latest, “Heart Glances,” devotional that you can find by clicking here.

Finally, what is something that you like to fill your mind with to fight weedy thinking? Please join the conversation in the comments below. We would love to hear from you!!

Let’s shine bright,
