RESET YOUR MIND - Test Your Thoughts.
The thoughts you keep in a loop determine the direction of your life. — Steven Furtick.
We have a lot of thoughts daily. In fact, experts believe we think between 60,000 and 80,000 thoughts per day. That averages about 2,500 to 3,300 per hour. Remarkable, isn’t it?
It would be great if our thoughts were all good, but majority are toxic. The good news is that there’s a guide to help us TEST OUR THOUGHTS.
Philippians 4:8 is a great test as to whether we should think about something. The verse tells us to think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and worthy of praise. Consider each word listed below.
TRUE:
We need to focus on what is authentic, real, and lines up with God's Word.
NOBLE:
We’re in the highest of ranks! Our thoughts should be royal and regal.
RIGHT:
Allow that desire for being right to permeate your thoughts. Thinking right thoughts means allowing accuracy and appropriateness to guide us.
PURE:
To be pure in heart and thought is simply choosing to think on ethical, good, upright, and honest things.
LOVELY:
To think lovely thoughts means to see the beautiful and the stunning in life and allow our minds to think upon those things.
ADMIRABLE:
We like to be admired, but do we want admirable, credible and distinguished thoughts?
EXCELLENT:
When our thoughts are excellent, they are superb, exceptional, and fabulous. EXCELLENT THOUGHTS LEAD TO EXCELLENT LIVES.
WORTHY OF PRAISE:
Thoughts worthy of praise are thoughts about God, His ways, His plans, and His creation, to name a few.
We can test our thoughts every day, and eventually we will subconsciously know if they line up with the standards in Philippians 4:8.
We will never be able to adjust every negative thought, but we can certainly try to free our minds from toxic thinking…one thought at a time.
