Mark Palmer continues his study on the thought life, working through Philippians 4 to show how recurring painful, exaggerated, or untrue thoughts can be broken rather than controlled. He walks through rejoicing in the Lord, moderation, taking everything to God in prayer, and deliberately replacing wrong thoughts with the things listed in verse 8, adding 2 Corinthians 10:5 on bringing every thought into captivity. He closes in Isaiah 26:3, showing that a mind stayed on God has peace that lost people will notice and ask about.
“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 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.”Philippians 4:4-8 (KJV)
