Think on these things

CHRISTIAN LIVING TODAY

Let your mind dwell on these things — whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable; if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — yes, “think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8) Our minds wander, and sometimes I realize I must stop to clarify and ask myself, “What am I thinking about?” Christians have the advantage of asking God for help to bring insight and assistance to discipline our thoughts.

Paul wrote in chapter four of Philippians, offering guidelines for healthy thinking and ways to follow his example. Verses 4-9 are rich encouragements for his friends and continue as guidelines today.
