Good morning! How are we faithing? How do you get through each day? What do you ingest? The Word intake is important for our well being. Hearing it, seeing it, acting according to it. Lets look at daily intake. Music i.e. radio is one of most peoples huge amount of intake. When you listen to music today, pay attention to what you are feeding your mind. By no means am I judging, I am trying to make you pay attention because even background radio is entering our minds. I've often wondered why most music is about love and sex. Then its money and "look at me". Is that all there is to sing about? What do our kids hear over and over? Aren't there other things worth singing about? What do you sing about? I grew up listening to drug, love and car songs and not much has changed. The genre doesn't even matter either. Talk radio; pick and devour all the time and if not that, sex and drug talk. Billboards; partying and sex appeal. Point to all of this is a balance of things takes effort on our part to keep from becoming exactly what we hear and see. TV, oh boy, need we discuss that? Is this good for me? Ask that about everything, just because it is pleasant doesn't mean it is good for you. Heck man, I'm guilty of watching mindless drivel. I love rock n' roll. I love blues. I also love christian music and Andy Griffith. Look here;

Rom 15:7-11
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written:
"Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name."
Again, it says,
"Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."
And again,
"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and sing praises to him, all you peoples."
NIV

Col 3:15-17
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
NIV

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that grounds us and shows us what is important. Lord help us sift through all the stuff that hinders our walk with you. Lord help us keep holy as you have made us holy with the grace of salvation. Thank you for loving us even when we don't love ourselves, in Jesus name, Amen
