Thoughts from Philippians

Thoughts from Philippians 4:6-13

Don't worry, pray, be thankful, focus on what is true right and positive, and know that we can do all things through Christ.

Here is a principle: stop worrying about stuff, and bring it all to God in prayer. Instead of spending energy fretting, and worrying, spend it with time in God's presence seeking him, handing over your worries and expressing thankfulness and gratitude towards God.

Then, focus on His truth, focus on things that are good and right and amazing. Focus on the truth of God's word; focus on what God has already done and promises to do. Be deliberate. Catch the negative thoughts and the worry. Take them captive to Christ and replace them with his truth.

Let God's truth direct your thought life, let his truth dictate your behaviour. We can do this because we have Christ. He is the one that enables us to do the "all things" that he has called us to. He is the one who enables and strengthens. He provides us with his strength, and he gives us his Spirit to do his will, to overcome, and to have a mind transformed.
