Meditate on These Things
ICS Daily Devotions

Philippians 4:8 (NJKV) 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.

After casting our cares unto God, the Apostle Paul asked us to meditate on the truth and keep our eyes on God so that we can keep the peace. Here are some examples of what we can meditate on.
