As promised, here are some additional details related to the Thoughts Challenge outlined in my previous post.
As I mentioned, the challenge will last seven weeks. Each week, we will work on redirecting our thoughts by focusing on one of the attributes listed in Philippians 4:8:
Week 1 – True
Week 2 – Noble
Week 3 – Right
Week 4 – Pure
Week 5 – Lovely
Week 6 – Admirable
Week 7 – Excellent/Praiseworthy
(Yes I cheated a little and combined the last two attributes, mostly because I love the number seven and have always viewed it as a special number in the Bible—the number of completion. Sue me.)
We will kick each week off on Monday, beginning next Monday (September 30th). That day I will introduce the attribute of the week and provide some additional insight/background on it.
This isn’t a competition, and there’s no tangible reward at the end, sorry! But what I hope you will get out of it is far more rewarding—the beginnings of a renewed mind and thought life that will enable you to live with greater joy.
If this challenge excites you as much as it does me, and if you’re wanting some additional accountability or some community interaction, come join the FaceBook group! My blog page is now up and running (you can access it via the blog Home Page or here).
I hope to see you there! But I pray, regardless of whether you join the group or not, that you will encounter God over these next few weeks as we seek to make our thoughts look more like His!
