whatever is true
just recently i've struggled with a few things....well...kind of not me personally...but sort of...it's more of an issue with some friends i guess
it's just that i don't particularly support drinking or drugs of any sort, so i got in a debate (i guess you'd call it that) and i started to think to myself...yeah there are lots of temptations in this world...but because they are tempting, does that make it right to succumb to it?
anyways...in church....we just so happen to sing this song...and well...it kinda struck home for me....because when anyone faces temptation..i think we should remember this song....it's goodstuff
whatever is true
whatever is true, whatever is right
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely
we will fix our thoughts on these things
Jesus You're true, Jesus You're right
Jesus You're pure, You are lovely
we will fix our thoughts on You
eh..the rest of it is not as relevant...and i'm feeling lazy....but that part really hit me....
now i know i have a thing against pasting lyrics and whatnot...but well, this one is kinda short and somewhat repetative...
this is how you resist temptation....right here...it is so much higher...and so much better than any temptation has to offer...
when faced with temptation...when faced with evil...when faced with worry or doubt...fix your thoughts on what is true, what is right, what is pure and lovely....fix your thoughts on Jesus...and nothing in this world will stand a chance...
