A Healthy Thought

Text: Philippians 4:8(KJV)

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things

Friends, we have to discipline our thoughts in a way that it will support our mental, emotional wellbeing which automatically affects our physical life. A healthy thought is not just a good idea but thoughts rooted on the truth of the word of God.  Proverb 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. We should stop choosing the negative “what if’s” or “failures” rather dominate your mind with God’s promises and His unfailing love. Therefore, it is important we cultivate a thought that will help us navigate life challenges which comes without a schedule. But, a well-developed thought can handle unnecessary stress that we go through in life. Hence, we need to be positive and balance our thinking as we build capacity for a healthy thought. You must learn not to tear yourself down through unhealthy thoughts rather believe you can try again even when there is an error. So, resist that unhealthy thought today because it can drain or destroy you instead of building you up. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God

Interestingly, we can focus on things that has positive values that brings uplifting and hopeful thoughts and not constantly dwelling on worries and self-criticism. Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Yes, healthy thought empowers and motivate us to grow wisely and make wise choices from within. So, the end result of a healthy thought is a calm and peaceful life that takes away stress which is prevalent in our time. But, I pray we shall build up our thought with right words based on the scriptures today in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:  

 Father, help me to shape my life with positive thoughts for impactful living that comes as a result of thought that are pure and lovely in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, to build strength in your thought rather than fear.
