Thoughts That Shape Our Days -  Abilolo's Random Musings

Sometimes I catch myself slipping into a heavy mood and I realize it is simply because of what I have been thinking about. Our energy, our joy, our moods… they are all expressions of the thoughts we choose to dwell on.

Take this for example: every time I think of my parents growing old, I drift into sorrow. Probably because I know I am not done paying them back in honor for all their sacrifices. The mere imagination of a day when they will be aged, weak, or even gone, grips me with a fear I cannot explain. But that’s the point! We cannot allow fear to rule our lives.

The Bible teaches us what kind of thoughts we should focus on: “Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report… think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8). If what you're thinking about doesn't bring hope, light, or a good report, then you are simply wasting your emotions on something that will drain your spirit.

It is imperative as growing adults to take charge of our minds. A thousand thoughts would fly through but we have to choose which ones we allow to stay and take seed in our hearts! Instead of sinking into dark thoughts, shift your focus. Think about things that make you want to thank God. Think about the blessings you already have. Be practical and true to yourself! That is one of the best treats you can give to yourself and not be bothered what the assumptions of the world may be. That is how gratitude grows and how you become filled with God’s Spirit that gives birth to love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

We have yet another instruction; “Be anxious for nothing…” That’s another reminder straight from scripture (Philippians 4:6). Why worry when God has already promised to take care of us? “It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so He gives His beloved sleep.” (Psalm 127:2).

Yes, life can be tough, especially for us young people navigating expectations, disappointments, and growing responsibilities. But the Bible still asks, “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.” (Psalm 119:9). God’s Word gives us the practical wisdom to live with peace and purpose. That is why I keep saying the best foundation any parent or guardian can give their loved ones, is a life deeply rooted in God's Word.

Live with contentment. Strive to please God first. Take life easy. Live in the moment with gratitude. Don’t worry. Time and chance happen to everyone (Ecclesiastes 9:11). While you wait for your time, build yourself, prepare yourself. You will face distractions, discouragements, and devourers, but with sobriety and vigilance, you will find yourself break through every glass ceiling.

So today, I am moved to tell you to take it easy. Take life easy! Look for a reason to smile. Choose joy. And trust this: All things will work together for your good (Romans 8:28). It really takes all these events in our lifes to birth that good we seek and desire.

I wish you all the Love, Help and Goodwill you deserve!
