FILLING YOUR MIND

“Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.”  (Proverbs 4:14-15)

“It’s hard to stop a freight train once it’s left the station,” an old saying goes. In other words, once you yield to temptation, it’s hard to stop and retrace your steps. The best way to avoid the pitfalls of life is through knowledge and understanding. If you know what quicksand looks like, you’re not likely to step in it. Fill your mind with good thoughts, and stay on the path of victory.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.”  (Philippians 4:8)
