"Fix your thoughts on what is TRUE, and HONORABLE, and RIGHT, and PURE,
and LOVELY and ADMIRABLE. THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS, that are
EXCELLENT and WORTHY OF PRAISE."
Did you know that your mind can only hold one thought at a time? Do you realize that only you are in control of your thoughts? As a man thinks in his heart, so is he! You are in control and responsible for your thoughts, no one else can make your choices for you! The One Truth Today acknowledges that fact, and urges you to THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS! Man has been given a free will and can fix his mind and choose what to think about. You are responsible for your choices. That is why this advice is among the most important you will receive. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS!
The difference between being happy and successful and being depressed and a failure depend on what you think! I am sure you know someone who always thinks the worst about everything.
They seem to dwell upon and think about what is wrong, and false, and dishonorable, and ugly.
They surround themselves with thoughts that are impure and can never be admired. Their thoughts are not about what is praiseworthy or excellent or reflects the righteousness of God!
In short they think about the negative aspects of life instead of being positive. They can tell you what is wrong with everything and everybody, but they are incapable of defining what is right!
Descartes the French philosopher said it this way, "I think, therefore I am".
The Word tells us we are what we think. That is why you should THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS! Fix your mind and your thoughts on what is truth, not a lie. Think about doing the honorable thing and doing the right thing! Think about pure, lovely and admirable things. If it is excellent and worthy of praise, then think about it, if not then control your thoughts and your mind, it is your choice. Do not get caught up in the carnal and ugly side of man kind, such as
pornography, R rated movies, or evil shameful desires. Do not surround yourself with cursing, profanity, or sinful things. Pick your friends and spend your time with the faithful, righteous,
God fearing people around you. If we are what we think then we need to be careful what we think about. THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS!
