Philippians 4:8
Fix our thoughts on what is True and Honorable and Right. Think about things that are Pure and Lovely and Admirable. Think about things that are Excellent and Worthy of Praise.
If you can, guess I've been challenged by this verse. My thought is that this verse is so much more than just about positive thinking. Its about a life style change, its about following Christs way of thinking.
The way we think does have an impact on our attitude. I think that a point this verse is making is that when we align our thoughts to Christ's our heart will follow after. When we choose to feel a certain way - choosing to love, choosing to have a good attitude, choosing to not settle into gossip and bad mouthing - we are choosing to think a different way, a Christ like way.
When we are able to weed out all the other nonsense and busy noise, we are able to live lives that are pleasing to God. He wants the best for us, and he has given us the tools here to live that way.
Lets be mindful of what our thoughts are lingering over and on. How do you feel this verse applies to you?
