I woke up the other day and the first thing on my mind was a leftover negative thought from the day before. I had been worried about something and it stayed with me. However the thought never even came to fruition. And yet this one thought threatened to control my entire day. Scripture gives us the remedy to negative, worrisome, and fearful thoughts.
Philippians 4:8 tells us how we are to think.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Noble, right, lovely, pure, admirable... These are the attributes of God. We begin changing our unsettled peace by training our minds to stay fixed on God and the things of God. It won't all happen at once, but as you continue to train your mind to release negatives and replace with positives you will find yourself having more and more peace.
So begin today! What one thought can you release and replace with a thought of God and his glory?
