Filled Minds

Whatever is true . . . noble . . . right . . . pure . . . lovely . . . admirable . . . excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. — Philippians 4:8 Is your mind filled with things that are true, pure, excellent, and praiseworthy? Or is it distracted by things that are false, polluted, ugly, and dishonorable? We likely have some amount of each, since we are all sinners.Let’s look first at filling our minds with what is true. This can be hard today when there is often little regard for speaking truth on the internet and in the media. We need to ask God to show us what is right and true, recognizing that we can depend on his Word in the Bible and on teachings that are solidly based on all of it.We can also seek what is lovely, good, and praiseworthy. God and his creation are beautiful. God’s love and his salvation are the most beautiful things of all. When we seek the lovely and beautiful, we will find God behind it all.However, if we not only see but also revel in what is ugly, distasteful, violent, or worse, we’ll find ourselves following the way of the devil, who is behind all things that are repulsive and corrupt.Let’s be sure to fill our minds with thoughts that honor God, others, and ourselves. Let’s steer away from thoughts that spread lies, hurt others, drag reputations down, or create cynicism. God knows what we are thinking, and in his strength we can control our thoughts so that they honor him. Lord, help us to fill our minds with pure, true, wholesome things. Let us not stray into ugly, dishonorable thinking that can lead us to destruction. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
