THINK OF THESE THINGS

*Study scripture:* _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._

*THINK OF THESE THINGS.*

One of the biggest faculties of a Christian lifestyle is their mindset and the things that run in their thoughts. There are things that you ought to think of as a Christian because they are of good report. Do not think of things that are of bad report.

For example, it is not of a good report for your relationship to break up. Therefore think not of that. It is not lovely for you to be poor, do not think of such a thing. It is not of virtue for you to fail in this world, think not of such a thing.

The Lord tells you to only think of things that are true and the word of God is true. Think and plan for honest things and develop a character of honest report and reputation. It is not honest for you to lie or slander someone and this you ought not to think of.

Is it of good report for you to date and marry a spouse in Holy matrimony? Think of that continually. Does it carry praise for you to be wealthy and rich? Yes, it is beautiful and you ought to continually think and meditate of that.

It is not of praise for you to fall sick and be buried. Therefore do not think of such a thing. But it is of praise and virtue for you to live in sound health and live a long life, meditate and think of such a thing.

As a Christian,meditate and think about only perfect and excellent things that are of glory. Do not allow evil thoughts to run through your mind with meditations that shall destroy your life. Let your mind be filled with thoughts of virtue continually.
*Praise be to God!!*

*Further study:*
Proverbs 27:3
1 Timothy 4:15

*Nugget:*
As a Christian,meditate and think about only perfect and excellent things that are of glory. Do not allow evil thoughts to run through your mind with meditations that shall destroy your life. Let your mind be filled with thoughts of virtue continually.

*Prayer:*
Thank you Heavenly Father for this word today. I allow my heart and mind to be transformed and renewed by your word to the glory of God. I exercise my mind to continually think of praise worthy things to the glory of your name in the name of Jesus.
*Amen.*
