Where are your thoughts focused?

Paul says the secret to peace - and we might add, to good mental health - is to make sure we think about...

"...whatever things are true, whatever things are honourable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things."

That's Philippians 4:8

In fact, before this, he says we are to be anxious about nothing.  Prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, couples with rejoicing in the Lord, always, is a much better way to run that wonderful computer God has given us - our mind.  Get this right and the peace of God Himself - a peace that transcends above and surpasses all understanding - God's very own peace will guard our hearts and our thoughts in Christ Jesus.

Having the mind of Christ enables us to sleep peacefully even when the storm that threatens to destroy us rages all around us.  Once this God-kind-of-peace is established in our hearts we can speak out of our mouths what is in our hearts, "Peace!  Be still!" and the storms will cease... even the wind and the waves will obey.

Sharing learning and the public reading of Scripture is how I spend my life.
