Think of These Things

Our minds can get filled with things that make us afraid and anxious. We all have negative thoughts and recurring fears. These negative thoughts come from the things that we let our minds dwell upon. But you can take charge! Colossians 3:15 tells us to let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. We can let peace rule or we can not let peace rule. In this same way we can decide what we will let our minds dwell upon. We can dwell upon things that build us up. This is a habit that we can develop. We can rule out negative thoughts and dwell only upon ones that edify.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.
