Phil 4:8
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.
Warren Wiersbe quotes Dr.
Walter Cavert who reported the results of a
survey on worry indicating that only 8 percent of the things people
worried about were legitimate matters of concern! The other 92 percent were
either imaginary, never happened, or involved matters over which the people had
no control anyway.
The word “pure” is the Greek word hagnos and means “innocent, modest,
perfect, chaste, and clean.” So much of that which bombards our ears, eyes, and
minds today are anything but pure. Thinking pure thoughts is not easy therefore
it must be intentional.
The word “think” is the Greek logizomai and literally means “to
take inventory.” Such thinking is done intentionally – even with much labor.
Pure thinking results in pure actions as we see from the very next
verse.
Phil 4:9
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received,
and heard, and seen in me, do:
and the God of peace shall be with you.
Dear Lord, help me to intentionally think pure thoughts and
perform pure actions. AMEN
