Philippians 4:8 NLT And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

This is God’s word to us. God wouldn’t ask us to do something that was impossible. If He instructs us to think a certain way, surely we can do it.

God’s word instructs us to fix our thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and worthy of praise. All the other garbage that enters our minds can be replaced with these things.

We can’t control what enters our minds, but we can control what stays in our minds. 

Controlling our thoughts controls our lives. Our lives will go the direction of our thoughts. If our thoughts are depressing, fearful, and negative, that’s where our lives will go if it’s not there already. We can’t expect a prosperous life with negative thoughts. However, when we consistently think on good, excellent, and praiseworthy things, our lives will match our thoughts. 

If we find ourselves thinking negatively, don’t stay there. Replace those thoughts with thoughts that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and worthy of praise.
