Philippians 4

Philippians 4
8
Finally, brothers, 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. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Read this a couple of times and write in your journal ideas of what it would look like to think about the noble, right, pure, lovely things of this world. 
What do you think is a noble thing?
It also talks about putting into practice the things he is been teaching us...look back over your notes for fusion and your quiet times; is there anything in there that you have put into practice?
Write out three ways you will put those things into practice daily this week!  If you do anything for 21 days it becomes habit.

Why do we do all of this?  The last words of the passage goes as follows,"and the God of peace will be with you."  By pursuing these things and putting them into practice it brings peace into our hearts.  Not peace of this world because God never promises that until he comes back but peace inside of your heart so we can weather all things with Joy!
