Philippians 4:8 NIV — Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. 

The book of Philippians was written by Paul to the Christian congregation he had helped to establish. He was instructing them on the meaning of being a Christian and on Christian living. The above scripture is an example of how Paul explains to live as a Christian. He instructs them, and us, on what to fill our minds with so as to stay on track in our Christian living.

Examine your thoughts today. How do you fill your mind with whatever is right, pure, lovely, admirable and praiseworthy?

Let’s pray. Dear God, forgive me when I fail to fill my mind with the right things. Guide my thoughts today so I may focus on You. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
