    The key takeaways are that we should think positive, wise, and fruitful thoughts according to Philippians 4:8 and dwell on things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, excellence and praiseworthy.

    The seven areas one should think great thoughts about are: God, yourself, others, life, the future, the past, and challenges.

    Some ways one can think great thoughts are: memorizing and meditating on Scripture, using drive time, listening to great music, taking walks in nature, and personalizing truth of promises and Scripture to address personal areas of growth.

    Think Great Thoughts Philippians 4:8

    II. Seven areas to think great thoughts about


    1. God Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and His paths beyond tracing out! Romans 11:33 (NIV)

    2. Yourself The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV)

    3. Others But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)

    4. Life Then He said to them all: If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me will save it. 25What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? Luke 9:23-25 (NIV)
