Today we will learn an important lesson from the Bible about filling our minds with good things. The Bible teaches that what we believe affects our behavior. When we think positively and truthfully, we can change our lives and draw closer to God.
Dear friends, the apostle Paul knew that attitude is important. He taught believers to think about things that are true, good, right, pure, lovely, and well-known.
Dear friends, we do not become filled with good things by accident. This requires effort. We can do this by reading God’s Word every day, meditating on God’s Word, and praying.
Dear friends, never forget that God wants us to be peaceful and happy. But this is only possible when we live according to God’s will and have an attitude like his. So let us have a good attitude so that we can receive all his blessings.
Satan always tries to control our minds. We need to guard our minds because they are the center of our thoughts. We know how the serpent deceived Eve in Eden.
As children of God, we must learn how to control our minds and protect ourselves from the snares of Satan. To keep our minds fixed on God even until death, we must surrender our desires to the Lord and keep His commandments.
Let us walk this path together, thinking well and living in such a way that we can glorify God and help one another do the same. Let us arm ourselves with the Word of God, which is provided to strengthen us in the day of temptation.
