Stinking Thinking
Part 2

"When you are DOWN to nothing ... God is UP to something.

(3) Stop worrying and complaining. IN EVERYTHING,
let your requests be made known to God (Philippians 4:6).
That sounds easy, does it not?
Yes, but doing it is another matter;
however, it is not impossible.
Were it impossible God would not have told us to do it.
GIVE IT A TRY!
(4) Finally, brethren, [Christians]
whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, ..... think on these things" (Philippians 4:8).
Wow, what a great mental health exercise this is!!!!!
Get your mind off "stinking thinking"
and focus on things that are pure, honorable, kind, etc., etc.
Guard your mind.
Don't allow just anything to come into it
and take up residency and make you depressed.
Charles Spurgeon said that we cannot
keep birds from flying over our head,
but we can keep them from making a nest in our hair.
(5) And here's the most important thing of all.
Read God's word every day.
Ask God to show you your sins that depress and weigh you down.
Write them down.
Look for the things you do and say and
believe that are contrary to God's law-word.
These things, however small you may think they are,
are leading you away from God's joy and peace in your life.
Weed out those awful sins, just like
you would pull weeds out of your flower bed.
It's simple: when we eat bad food it makes us sick.
Likewise, when we sin it makes us sick....
we don't always throw up, but we become "stinky"
and putrid and that works out into our lives and spills over into everything.

IF YOU ARE EVER GOING TO GET OVER "STINKY THINKING"
YOU'VE GOT TO START SOMEWHERE.
WHY NOT START AT THE STARTING PLACE....
START TODAY WITH GOD...
AFTER ALL, HE SPOKE THE WORLD INTO BEING
AND IT'S NO BIG DEAL FOR HIM TO HEAL YOUR MIND
AND YOUR EMOTIONS
AND BRING YOU INTO FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM WHERE
YOU CAN BE HAPPY AND AT PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.
Amen!!!
And SMILE!!!
Let's Help Them Find Their Smile
By Connie Ciccone
Today Lord, as we walk along,
Please guide the words I say.
Oh, lead me to that special one,
That I may help today.

I know there must be lonely souls,
That need a special friend.
Someone who asked in fervent prayer,
For someone you may send.

Give me the perfect words to say,
To tell them of your love.
A greater love they have never known,
You Love From Up above.

Concern for them is in my heart,
I lift them up to you.
Oh, let them feel your precious love,
So they may know you too!

Please help me find the words to say,
To make them feel worthwhile,
Then I know that you and I,
Have Helped Them Find Their Smile
Let's Help Them Find Their Smile
