Our Scripture reading today is 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."
 
I have referred to this verse numerous times in my life.  The last statement of the verse ties it all together - "think on these things".  It is possible in a world filled with so much sin and sadness, we can think on things that bring glory to God and victory in our lives.  We have a choice as to what we allow our minds to think about.
 
Here are a couple other verses to meditate on.  They will help us have victory in our minds!  
 
Romans 12:2, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
 
2 Corinthians 10:5, "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
