As for the saints (godly people) who are in the land, they are the majestic and the noble and the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

Psalm 16:3 (AMP)

David writes about godly people in today’s scripture, describing them as the majestic and the noble and the excellent ones. If we want to live up to this description, we begin in the mind. A noble and excellent life starts with noble, excellent thoughts. Paul echoes this idea in Philippians 4:8: Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s Word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart] (AMP).

God has called all of us to be excellent in all we do. In this way, we represent Him well to the people around us. Examine your thoughts today and embrace only the ones that are excellent.

Prayer of the Day: Father, help me to think excellent thoughts so I can live an excellent life. In Jesus’ name, amen.
