Framing our Thoughts

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things.”
Philippians 4:8
 

B.C. Forbes once said, “Life is simply a matter of concentration: you are what you set out to be. You are a composite of things you say, the books you read, the thoughts you think, the company you keep, and things you desire to become.”

Our thoughts can be influenced by our fleshly desires, external influences, and the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we can determine the path our thoughts take by the things we choose to think about. The more we think about the Lord and His Word, the more godly our thoughts will be. However, the more we think about the world’s customs, values and behaviors, the more ungodly our thoughts will be.

Thought for the Day:
How we think determines how we behave.
