Think On That Which Is Lovely and Good

“…Think On These Things!”
(Phil. 4:8 & 9)

There is something that Paul
 (the apostle), asked us to do…
“Think on those things which are
 wholesome and true…”

“Whatever is honest
 and whatever is just…”
We can do this!  If we give God
 all of our trust!

“Whatever is lovely and
 whatever is pure…”
May we hold on to God’s love
 which is secure….

“Whatever is good, and
 brings a good report…”
Will enable our lives to 
reside in “God’s court…”

“If there is any virtue.” 
 “Anything worthy of praise…”
This will be a blessing to us, 
all of our days!

“Whatever is good.”  “We need to
 think on these things…”
And enjoy the freedom in Christ this brings!

“That which you have received
 and learned from Paul…”
Will give to your life… True meaning after all!

May you apply the truth of 
Philippians 4:8 & 9…
So you can walk in victory
 and enjoy a Godly peace of mind!

As God brings you joy and
 calms all of your fears.
His word will keep and guard you
 from many “wasted years!”

So easy to focus on the negative things in our life, we should indeed be thankful for all the wonderful things. It requires more effort to see these things though, and without God in our lives, most are blind to these.
