Philippians 4 Part 12 - Practicing the Word and Will of God

Beginning in verse eight we are directed to the right things for our minds to be thinking on, pondering, and considering as we moment by moment have our minds renewed by the power of God through His word. Too often we have confused our way, by allowing the wrong thinking to be pondered in our minds, thus the call for the renewed mind that focuses on the things of God. God has given us these six words as guards to stand at the gate of our mind, to protect us from the thoughts that would allow the enemy to gain access to the operations center of our minds. Having understood the things that are to be food for our thoughts, the Apostle Paul tells us that these things which can also be seen in him are to be not only in our thinking but they are to be the things that we are practicing each and every day!
