Philippians 4:8 ESV
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
The things we allow to stick and stay in our minds control us. The bad stuff or the self destructive thoughts captivate our minds and tear down our spirits. So what do we do in a profane and sinful world where we are bombarded everyday with disastrous thoughts?
We cast those thoughts out and replace them with the excellent, pure truth of God’s word and the things that He approves of. It takes constant practice but thinking on the good things makes for a better life!
