“For
My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says
the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My
ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts
(Psalms 55:8-9).

Think On
These Things
By
Pat Phelps
“This mind
is its own place,” says Milton, “and in itself can make heaven of
hell or hell of heaven.” The man in jail thought himself there.
He was mentally a thief, or a thug, are a murder first. The lawyer
is made by thinking law. The artist is made by thinking art. The
same is true of the musician, the scientist, the physician, or the
teacher. Of course, there other things that help the process along,
but no specialist is made without thinking his specialty. So the
Christian is made by thinking in terms of Christ. “Let this
mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Whatsoever
things are true—think on these things. Why? Because that is the
only way to be true! Whatsoever things are honest—think on these
things. Why? Because this leads to honest actions! Whatsoever
things are just, or pure, lovely or of good report, think on these
things. Why! By so thinking, they become a part of our character.
“As a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he,” says the inspired writer. The
things we are thinking today are determining what we will be
tomorrow. An old adage admonished, “Sow a thought, reap an act,
sow an act, repeat a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a
character, reap a destiny.” It is evident that our thoughts are
determining our immediate and ultimate destiny. The pure, the
upright, the noble, the courageous and the Christ-like are not that
way by chance. They are like they are because they think as God
would have them think.
