We have the freedom to choose, along with the ability to control what we think about!
Scripture provides us with a rock solid plan for dealing with being constantly bombarded with images and worldly messages that are diametrically opposed to how God commands us to think and act.
The Apostle Paul starts his list in Philippians 4:8 very strategically when he admonishes us to think about, “Whatever is true.”
How we identify truth is the baseline for our Biblical worldview, and consequently how we will respond to each and every decision we’ll make throughout our lifetime (no matter how great or however small they may be).
We would be wise to reject anything that does not draw us closer to Jesus, and His way of thinking!
May we commit to consciously focus our mind on whatever is true … and what is honorable … and what is right … and what is pure … and what is lovely … and what is commendable … and things that are excellent … along with the things that are worthy of praise.
And may we be eternally grateful for the Holy Spirit’s 24/7 presence who will help us to remain true to our convictions, which will ultimately allow us to glorify the Lord to the max.
