Think on the Right Things

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philip. 4:7

We are prone to pray about the ‘big things’ in life and forget to pray about the so-called ‘little things’ until they grow and become big things!

Talking to God about everything that concerns us and Him, is the first step toward victory over worry. The result is that the “peace of God” guards the hearts and the mind.

You will remember that Paul was chained to a Roman soldier, guarded day and night. In like manner, “the peace of God” stands guard over the two areas that create worry:
The Heart.... Wrong Feeling
The Mind..... Wrong Thinking

When we give our hearts to Christ in salvation, we experience “peace with God” Romans 5:1.But the “peace of God” takes us a step further into His blessings. This does not mean the absence of trials on the outside. But it does mean a quiet confidence within, regardless of circumstances, people, or things.

For you to have peace, joy and happiness - it involves not only the heart but the mind.
"The steadfast of mind Thou wilt keep in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in Thee.” Isaiah 26:3

Wrong thinking leads to wrong feeling, and before long the heart and mind are pulled apart and we are strangled by worry.
• We must realize that thoughts are real and powerful, even though they cannot be seen, weighed or measured.
• We must bring “every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” II Cor 10:5
