Meditate On
Finally, brethren, whatever things are
true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are
pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there
is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Philippians 4:8
What’s
On Your Mind?
It takes a positive thought to replace a
negative one. You cannot eradicate negative thoughts just by using your willpower.
God’s Word tells us, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and
the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6–7).
If you read on, it also says, “…whatever
things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever
things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good
report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate
on these things.”
So beloved, replace your thoughts of worry
with thoughts of His pure, immeasurable and unconditional love for you. Turn
your cares into prayers by casting all your cares to Him as you meditate on how
He truly cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Don’t hold on to your worries any longer.
Let go and let God be the Father of favor, wisdom and supply that He wants to
be to you. Keep meditating on His promises for you in His Word. Thank Him that
because of Jesus, you have a blood-bought right to have a mind free of worries
and stress today!
