Think

 

Philippians 4:8 - 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. 

Have you ever heard someone say, “Don’t tell me what to think!” I have heard that and thought about who is the only One Who is qualified to tell us what to think. That One is Jesus Christ Himself. He is our Creator and knows what is best for each of us.

He tells us in Colossians 3:2 - Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Jesus also tells us, “I ascend back to My Father.” (John 20:17) We also read in Romans 8:34 - Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Think about what Jesus Christ has done for you. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a cruel death, was buried, and rose again that we might have the abundant life. Now He is seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for every believer.

What a blessed thought to know Jesus is thinking about you and me. Let’s honor Him by allowing our thoughts to be on Him and His goodness.
