THINK EXCELLENT THOUGHTS
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things.
Philippians 4:8
Excellent thoughts bring about joy and peace in one’s life;
excellent thoughts attract blessings. If you want to have a beautiful life,
think excellent thoughts; thoughts that are consistent with the Word.
You have the mind of Christ; you have a sound, excellent and
creative mind. Refrain from thinking discouraging and self-defeating thoughts,
refuse to dwell on the negative and think positive thoughts. Train your mind to
think constructive and excellent thoughts; thoughts that encourage and build
you up.
You are the only one who can choose what you think about.
Just because something crossed your mind it does not mean that you should dwell
on it. The Bible admonishes us to guard our hearts and we do that by guarding
our thoughts because what you constantly think about eventually works its way
into your heart.
Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the
issues of life.
Proverbs 4:23
Stop thinking about how they have wronged you or how they
don’t like you, stop dwelling on the negative. People are not perfect, so
choose to forgive and move on. Don’t clutter your mind with the negative.
Choose to eliminate toxic thoughts.
You also don’t have to dwell on everything that you hear. If
it doesn’t build you up, it can tear you down. Be selective in your thinking
because your life is shaped by your thoughts.
Let the Word dominate your thinking. What does the Word say
about you and that which concerns you? Meditate on those things. Think
excellent thoughts because your life goes in the direction of your thoughts.
Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them,
that your progress may be evident to all.
1 Timothy 4:15
Though of the day: I have to be selective in my thinking
because my life goes in the direction of my thoughts.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that I can choose what to
think about. Thank You that when I choose the right thoughts, my life goes in
the right direction, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
