Phillipians 4:8
Finally Brethren, whatever things are true,whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure,whatever things are lovely and of good report. If there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.
Phillipians 4:8 exhorts us to meditate on positive and praiseworthy things. Oftentimes we go through life unconsciously; captive to whatever random thoughts that come our way as if we don't have any control. That is a lie that keeps us stagnate, powerless and missing out on our destiny that God has for each of us. Instead, we need to live a more conscious life of awareness at all times. Meaning we need to actively capture our thoughts and attitudes and examine them through the word of God. Satan doensn't want us to fulfill our destiny so he will submit seemingly negative, random thoughts into our minds and we must immediately rebuke these attacks. Likewise, we must stay on guard to the things we listen to, people we interact with and what we watch. And we must ask ourselves, Does this glorify God? Does being around this person give me a sense of peace and happiness? If the answer is no, we must immediately seperate ourselves and let go of anything that steals our joy.
