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.”
Our thought life is often far different than what people see. We can say one thing and be thinking an entirely different thing. There is so much ugliness in the world and it is safe to say that the majority of these ugly acts were birthed in the thought processes of the individual who committed them.
My Scripture for this year is Psalm 19:14; “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.” It is amazing to see the similarity between this passage of Scripture and today’s Scripture from Philippians 4:8.
What things should be going through our mind? Paul gives a list here in Philippians chapter 4. He lists the following things to fill our mind with; true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and good report.
What occupies your mind? Do you meditate on the Word of God as frequently as possible? Do make an effort to memorize Scripture so you discover the mind of God? I pray that your thoughts may be PURE THOUGHTS.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
