Philippians 4:8
New International Version (NIV)
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, 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.
I've been told that in these tumultuous times I should be confronting all the issues and be more aware of all the inherent dangers in the world. I realize that some people love to debate and even to switch sides in the middle of argument, but that has never been me. Arguing makes me uncomfortable and anxious. If I absorb all of the current events and dwell on them it will break me. I know this for a fact.
I think there are people in this world who can be aware of everything that is going on, put it in the hands of the Lord, deal with the things at hand, and choose to think about praiseworthy things instead. That is the only way I can survive.
