“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:6-76Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6‑7)).
The other day I was thinking that these verses show us how to unload the worries that so often burden us. But once unloaded from our hearts, then we have the next verse showing us how to positively occupy our minds and hearts.
“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.”
It is vitally important to properly direct our thinking according to Scripture. What we read, what we see, what we take up with it all affects our thinking. It all must be put to the test with this verse. If it doesn’t fit the true, honest, just, pure and lovely test, then unrelentingly throw it out. It will do you no good. Remember, you are what you think about.
