Watch that Thought (7)
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank the Lord because this is the day that He has made, and we shall rejoice and be glad in it. He is our God, our shield, our exceeding great reward. Hallelujah.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are … of good report,… think on these things.” Philippians 6v8 (KJV)
“For the rest, brethren, … whatever is kind and winsome and gracious,… think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].” Philippians 6v8 (AMP).
Today, it seems like there is hardly a moment that goes by when there is nothing to think about. If it is not a particular work that you have to do, it is something you are thinking of doing, otherwise, there are different types of things that can entertain and occupy your thoughts. Televisions, games, the internet, the news, books… How then can we fix our minds on things that are of good report? For instance, we can take a portion of Scripture and meditate on it. “And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” (2 Samuel 9v1, KJV). Now this act of David is of good report. One can then ask, who was Saul? Who was Jonathan? Why would David want to show kindness? And if you already know of the relationship between Saul and David, then you can ask, why would David want to do that even after all that Saul did to him. What was the relationship between David and Jonathan? This helps you to fix your thoughts, and weigh things of good report. Or for instance, Hebrews 4v14-16 below, has so many good things to think and meditate on. And even as we weigh and meditate on such things, fixing our minds on these things, may we become more acquainted with the Lord and with His nature in Jesus name, amen.

“So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all the same testings we do, yet He did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” Hebrews 4v14-16 (NLT).
Prayer
Father, we thank You for this day. Father I pray for a yearning, a desire and grace to meditate on Your Word in Jesus name, amen.
