Imperceptibly Turning

One day I looked out the window and the plant was all bent over and facing the other way. It had gotten plenty of water, what happened? It looked so pretty before.

Seemed like that plant changed direction overnight. Of course, it didn't happen that fast. It was like time-lapse photography. Each day, the little leaves turned their faces toward the sun. Imperceptibly, the plant was turning. Ever so slowly. And over a period of time, the difference was dramatic.Plants do not have a choice. They just do what they do. We, however, have a choice. We can choose what we look at, what we think about, what we absorb.In our day-to-day lives, all the seemingly insignificant decisions we make, matter. As we turn in the direction of our focus, little by little, the choices pile up to create a definite, noticeable change.

In the Bible's book ofPhilippians 4:8, Paul writes: "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."

How beautiful we are when we make choices like this... no matter where we are planted!
