Have A Peaceful Mind!
"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true…,
noble…, just…, pure…, lovely…, of good report,
if there is any virtue and if there is anything
praiseworthy—meditate on these things."
Philippians 4:8
In Philippians 4, the apostle Paul revealed his plan for having
a peaceful mind. He told us to rejoice in the Lord (verse 4), to
remember the Lord is at hand (verse 5), and pray with petition
and thanksgiving (verse 6). He also told us meditate on things
that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and of good report.
That only means one thing—meditating on God's Word.
The Bible is God’s written Word, and Jesus is His living Word.
Whatever concerns and anxieties, we must place our thoughts
on words of the Bible and the Savior from heaven. That doesn’t
mean we ignore problems. It means we put them in the right
perspective by giving our primary mental energy to Him who
can solve the issues of life.
Anxiety is difficult to manage, but foundation to every
treatment is memorization and meditation of Scripture.
When the Word of God is coursing through our mind day
and night, it keeps thoughts filtered and pure and clean.
Find a verse today and focus your thoughts on it all day
and all night.
