The Power of Pleasant Thoughts

The power of pleasant thoughts lies in their ability to influence our mood, behavior, and overall well-being. They can help reduce stress, enhance resilience, and improve mental health.

Pleasant thoughts fosters creativity and motivation. It helps us cultivate optimism for better decision making, for building stronger relationships, tackling challenging situations and ultimately achieving our goals. 

Question is: Given the myriad of competing and potentially distracting thoughts in our day-to-day life, how do we nurture a mindset filled with pleasant thoughts as Christians?

Philippians 4:8 tells us the kind of thoughts to focus on as children of God. 

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Thoughts that are: 

• True
• Noble
• Just
• Pure
• Lovely 
• Things of good report
• Things of virtue 
• Things that are praise worthy

If you ask me, these are the baseline characteristics of pleasant thoughts; powerful, transformative thoughts that are capable of positively impacting our words, actions and life experiences. 

Join me in this short Bible study session as I share on how the Word of God can help you nurture a mindset filled with pleasant thoughts that ultimately positions you in the victory zone where exploits are normal.
