Noble Thoughts

“So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.” (Philippians 4:8 TPT)  

A dehumidifier is used to remove moisture in damp areas. It works by  drawing in moist air, condensing the invisible water vapor into visible water, collecting the resulting liquid in a reservoir, and then recirculating the dry air back into the room. The process is similar to distillation in some ways, but the condensed water that is collected can only be as pure as the air that passes through the machine. If the atmosphere in the room is moldy, the water in the reservoir will also be contaminated. 

The atmosphere around us influences our ideas. Our invisible beliefs affect our visible actions. While noble thoughts can lead to virtuous choices, polluted thoughts cause corrupt behavior. When we keep our minds continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind, our life exudes grace. Thus, let us meditate on God’s glory, letting praise and thanksgiving pass through us, so that our responses reflect His goodness.
