Fix
Your Thoughts On What Is True,
And
Honorable, And Right, And Pure, And Lovely, And Admirable.
Think
About Things That Are Excellent And Worthy Of Praise.
Scripture
Philippians
4
8 And
now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on
what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and
admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of
praise.
Observation
If
we are constantly listening to the so-called news on television, on
the radio, or on the internet, regardless of whether it is coming
from a liberal source or a conservative source ... we are not fixing
our thoughts on what is true!
Yes,
let's be informed but let's not swallow hook, line, and sinker
everything that we hear as the truth!
Let
me suggest that we fix our thoughts on what is true by spending time
opening up and reading our Bibles. It is where you and I can find
truth!
So
I say just as the Apostle Paul said to the Philippians, “Fix
your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure,
and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and
worthy of praise.”
Application
I
will think and meditate on God's Word today.
How
about you?
Philippians
4:6-7
6 Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what
you need, and thank him for all he has done.
7 Then you
will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can
understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, we desperately need the truth of Your Word. So much of what
we hear is not true. Guide me. Help me to see and understand what is
happening in our country and in the world today through the filter of
Your Word. Your Word is truth. It is trustworthy. Help me to rely on
Your promises more than the empty promises made by men and women who
are trying to get me to side with them. Give me wisdom, Lord.
