Listen
to the Word
"Finally,
brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such
things." (Philippians
4:8)

We are shaped by what we
think about, so it is wise to fill our minds with good things. It may be
so obvious it is not worth saying, but the best thing with which we can
fill our minds is God. One key step toward having a healthy mind that
honors God is to spend time thinking about Him. Ponder how God has
revealed Himself in Scripture, in the world He has made, and in your
life. Choose to dwell on Him. Contemplate who He is - limitless, loving,
loyal, perfect, and pure. He is excellent and praiseworthy! The more
you invite Him into your mind, the more He will be able to reshape it
and renew it. As He renews your mind, He will transform you (Romans
12:2), molding you into the person He created you to be.
