Philippians 4:8 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.
SO WHAT SHOULD YOU SET YOUR MIND ON IN ORDER TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED?
You have to accept and believe all the things in the Bible which God says about you: WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE; WHAT GOD SAYS YOU HAVE; WHERE GOD SAYS YOU ARE; And WHAT GOD SAYS YOU CAN DO. So you have to think and act on the things that God says you have, rather than the vices that show up.
A lot of the times, we look at the physical and what’s happening around us to determine what comes out of us. But God tells you that you are capable of good. As a child of God, you are made of good because you are born of God. So God’s Word admonishes you that these things are in you so set your mind on them and they will come forth from you:
Things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report. Things that are of virtue/excellence and praiseworthy. Hallelujah! You are a person full of goodness and wonder – God made you that way. FOCUS ON, AND THINK THAT WAY.
So anytime you are about to do something, ask yourself, “IS THIS TRUE, HONEST, JUST, PURE, LOVELY, and of GOOD REPORT?” If it’s not, pause and look at it again. Hallelujah! You are born of God, so let GOD-DEEDS come forth from you.
GRACEFUL MORNING
