Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things (fix your mind on them). Philippians 4:8.
Many times-being in tough circumstances can cause us to have a negative mind set that will cause us to have a negative attitude. The Apostle Paul encourages us in this passage of scripture to concentrate on these good things-that will then give us a good and hopeful attitude. Our thoughts affects our attitude. God, on the other hand, tells us to do things that are for our good. He wants us to be happy and fulfilled and the only way to have happiness and fulfillment is to have it God’s way! If we’re full of wrong thoughts, we’re miserable because we’re not thinking about what we’re thinking about! This can be a big challenge for us, especially when or calendars get so busy and to top it off, spiritual warfare! It is impossible to be happy while entertaining negative, critical, and depressing thoughts. God will help us to overcome Satan in this battle for our thoughts!
EVERY STEP TOWARDS CHRIST KILLS A DOUBT. EVERY THOUGHT, WORD, AND DEED FOR HIM CARRIES YOU AWAY FROM DISCOURAGEMRNT. Theodore Ledyard Cuyler (1822-1909)
