Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.  Philippians 4:8

 Have you ever thought about what you think throughout the day? I know that sounds like a corny question, but there is something to be said for what goes on in your mind. Theres an old say, “what you think, you become”. If you don’t believe me, go to any bookstore, and you’ll find all kinds of inspiring books on how to become successful by what you put into your mind.

 Although today’s verse was written well over 2,000 years ago, Paul encouraged believers to think about the positives: truth, noble, just, pure, lovely, good news, and praise. By filling your mind with the spiritual positive traits, you won’t ‘have any room in your mind to entertain the filth of this world, and there is a lot of that for everyone. I find the internet is a good source of information, but left without going into it with a purpose, you can find yourself meandering into some dark and negative places, filling your mind with temptation, lust, greed, and anything else that can influence how you live.

 For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

 There’s plenty to think about in today’s world. Make it a priority to think upon the good things God has for His children, and you’ll have no problem living out your faith every day! God bless!
