Finally brothers, whatever s true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
We tend to spend more time thinkng about the negatives rather than the positives. "Don't do this" dominates our thinking rather than "How can I do this good thing?". We should be looking for evidences of God's grace, not always going straight to the problems. We should spend tme dwelling on things that fall into the categories listed above. Of course, the perfect example of all of these things is Jesus. He is truth, honourable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent and worthy of praise. We should spend time thinking about Him!
