We all have so many thoughts in a day.  Our minds are very active…so active in fact, that we more often than not, take our thoughts for granted.

Actually, we can be (and need to be) in control of our minds.  Often, without realizing it, we are actually “choosing” what to think about.

Even when we ALLOW our minds to be in neutral and we just coast along, we are still CHOOSING.  And, what we think about tells God a lot about us.  What we think about also shapes our feelings and behaviors.

Our Creator, Who made our minds and knows precisely how each mind works, tells us exactly what to think about.   The Apostle Paul wrote about it to the Philippians.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

A wonderful promise goes with Philippians 4:8.  We find the promise in verse 9.  Philippians 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

GOD’S PEACE will be with those of us who choose to think about positive things (true, honest, just, pure, lovely, good report, virtue, praise).

Try it!  It really does work!
