"Think on Good Things..."
Philippians 4:12-13
The Passion Translation
I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained ink the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.
What you think about determines the quality and direction of your life. Naturally, people who think positive, uplifting thoughts have happier, healthier, longer lives. They are less stressed, more vibrant, and enjoy better sleep. That's why the Scripture encourages us to think on good things-things that are true, noble, and lovely. Some translations say to "fix your mind" on them. When you fix your mind on noble things, you close the door to the negative voices and open your heart to allow God to work in your life.
Choose today to fix your mind on good things. Do whatever you need to in order to keep those good thoughts before you. Confess God's promises over your life and declare His blessing on a daily basis. As you fix your mind on the goodness of God, you will rise higher in every area of your life. You will be filled with His peace and victory, and you'll see your dreams and desires come to pass.
