What Are You Thinking About?

I have been reading in Philippians lately was reminded to take notice of the things I am thinking about. What kinds of thoughts am I dwelling on? Some of these thoughts bring peace. Other thoughts bring discontent. I want to try and dwell on the thoughts that only bring peace.

What are you thinking about? 

Here are some questions to ask about it:

Is it TRUE?

unconcealed, true, true in fact, worthy of credit, truthful

Is it HONORABLE?

venerable, honorable, grave, serious, dignified

Is it JUST?

right; righteous; especially, right in the eyes of God

Is it PURE?

chaste; in a condition prepared for worship

Is it LOVELY?

pleasing, acceptable, grateful

Is it COMMENDABLE?

well reported of, spoken in a kindly spirit, laudable, reputable

Is it EXCELLENT?

good, a gracious act, virtuous, upright

 Is it WORTHY OF PRAISE?

commendable, approved of by God

If YES - then keep on thinking about it. Dwell on these good thoughts and be at peace.
If NO - then do not dwell on these thoughts. They will only bring discontent.
