Philippians 4:8-9 (ESV)
“[8] 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”. [9] What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the GOD of peace will be with you.”
If we “THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS”, such as when we have been done wrong by others, we will tend to “work ourselves into” a bad place where “the enemy” can grow his harvest.
Conversely, we we “THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS”, such as the salvation SOLELY purchased by JESUS, “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”, then we tend to NOT remember the bad things that have happened in our past!!
Which “THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS” drives your thoughts???
