Think on These Things
If only we would apply this scripture to everything in our lives. Would we then reconsider what we dwell on? There are many unholy, unlovely and impure things in this world. Its there all around us. Its so important not to allow ourselves to dwell on these things that are contrary to Gods word, so we ourselves are not caught up in it. We need to dwell on what is pure and lovely. Gods word is the place to start.
We also can dwell on negative thinking towards others or ourselves that needs to be replaced with positive thinking. We can be products of our upbringing, but we dont have to stay that way. God can bring about change in our thinking. His word is truth, and this truth will set us free. As we dwell on what is true, pure, lovely, kind and graciousit will transform us.
Think on these things!
Whatever is true, wholesome and kind,
Just and pure, let it transform our minds.
