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.
(Philippians 4:8 KJV)
I sometimes wish that my vehicle would run off water instead of gas. I’m sure you understand just what I mean.
The frightening thing about putting water into a vehicle, is that it probably wouldn’t function well again or function at all and you’ll let thousands of dollars slide down the drain. Thus, as drivers, we must be careful with what we put in.
We should also have this same attitude towards our lives. If we do, there would be a constant flow of positive results. Paul and Timotheous wrote to the church at Phillipi. In the book of Philippians, they give some powerful, lasting advice that we all should take to heart.
They remind us that just how we program our radios, televisions and phones to yield the results we want, we should do likewise to our minds. Instead of giving up on life and walking around like you are carrying the world on your shoulders, they both recommend that we should.
“think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of a good report.”
I took time to examine and re-examine that particular scripture as I studied it before writing. What I learnt is that all of those things that we are encouraged to focus our minds on are POSITIVE.
What is the lesson to be learnt here? What we put and take in our minds is just what we’ll get out. When we feed the positive thoughts and scriptures into our mind and soul, when we ensure we hang around positive people, when we shun doubters, we would be able to pull out the appropriate word at opportune times.
When we feed our minds rubbish, during times of trials and testing, we won’t be able to pull anything from inside our heart to encourage us because – Rubbish in – Rubbish Out.
Set your minds on the positive and soon you’ll be soaring with the eagles.
Becareful With What You Put In!
