Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Philippians 4:8
NLT Bible
What we think affects our behaviour in every way imaginable, so it's important that we gain control of our thought life. Thoughts are constantly swirling around in our minds and though some are fleeting, others linger for a long time. Oftentimes, they are not uplifting and edifying and in fact may be negative, belittling, unkind, impure and untrue. Thoughts are impacted by the things we listen to, our conversations, the shows we watch and there is need for censorship in these areas of our lives.
This verse tells us that we are to fix our thoughts on all that is noble, pure, uplifting, lovely and good. To do so we have to cling to God, continually spend time in His Word and in prayer and daily ask Him to have full control of our thoughts. As we focus solely on God and fill our minds with things that are excellent and worthy of praise, our thoughts change.
Thank you Lord for my mind. Help me to centre my thoughts on everything that is good, noble and pure. Take control of my thoughts. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
Lydia
