Daily Devotions
June 4th, 2013 by Pastor SolleyPhil 4:7-8 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 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.
One way to help a troubled mind is to control the things that one thinks about. There are more than enough troubling things in this world, more than enough troubling things to think about that unsettle the mind. So don’t think about those things so much, think about the things of God. Sounds simple I know but notice what the Bible says. If you want peace of mind then you need to settle the mind on the right things, the things of God. Instead of thinking about all your troubles today think about the goodness of God, instead of thinking about the government today think about the time Christ will rule and reign, instead of thinking about the economy today think about the provision of God. We can set our affections on things above and think of the things of God. That will settle our minds.
