EARWORMS

If there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy.... Mediate on these  things.
Philippians 4:8

They burrows. They bore in. They attach themselves inside your head. Earworms, a term once used exclusively for insects. Is now the name for those unrelenting tuned that you can't get out of your head. Songs like. "The Lion sleeps Tonight," the "Barney" song, or my personal nightmare: "it is a small world after all.'
    They say the only way to rid yourself of the insidious infestation is to replaced it with another tune "your cleaner's song. New words and a fresh tune can crowd out the old.
    Maybe we could use a cleaner song for our thought-life as well. When lustful or vengeful thoughts creep into our minds, reading and mediating on God:s word can help to clean up our thinking.
   Scripture tells us to love the Lord " with all your heart, with all [our] soul with all [our] mind" (Matt. 22:37) and not to "be conformed to this world." But to be transformed by the renewing of [our] mind" (Rom.12:21). It instructs us to think about things that are true. Noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable excellent and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8).
    When our minds wander to evil, the best "cleaner' is allow the wisdom of the Bible to permeate our thoughts and hearts Tim. 3:16).
