Daily Devotion:
"Seek to Develop"
Philippians 4:8
New International Version
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
All of us have choices. As Paul wrote, we can decide what to “dwell on” or “think about” (ESV). The Greek word here has its roots in the word logos; thu, it suggests our ability to reason, what we put together in our minds, and how we occupy ourselves. Seek to
develop godly thought-life habits. You can make choices. You don’t have to be controlled by the media or worldly gossip. Reject whatever is corrupt and displeasing to God and anything that violates His Word.
Fix your mind on things that are true, honourable, and just; whatever is pure, lovely and lovable, kind, and gracious; things with any virtue and excellence; anything worthy of praise Then practice thinking about these things!
