SPIRITUAL MEDITATION! – Philippians 4:8 Devotional
Philippians 4:8
“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.”
There is counterfeit meditation in the world today that opens the mind to evil forces which deny that Christ came in the flesh and paid the price for our sins. Paul is writing about meditation that is of the Lord and uses His Word as our source.
I think it is safe to say that we all meditate on things (although I sometimes wonder if some people even pause to think about anything.) Our thought life may be hidden to those around us, but the Lord knows our thoughts completely.
You may have heard of GIGO. It stands for garbage in garbage out. Think about that for a bit and ask yourself what you are filling your mind with. Are your spending time in the Word of God and allowing it to renew you?
Look at the list of things Philippians 4:8 give us to ponder: true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy. Wow! It is time to evaluate what we have been pondering in our free moments. TAKE CONTROL OF MY MIND DEAR LORD!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
