A Guarded HEART condition produces PEACE :))
Do you believe that positive thinking plays a BIG part in how we live our daily lives?
It does, but what’s more important is focusing on God’s Word and keeping IT in our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
PHILIPPIANS 4:7-9
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
God’s peace is different from the world’s peace (John 14:27). It is not found in positive thinking, in absence of conflict, or in good feelings Real peace comes from knowing that because God is in control, our citizenship in Christ’s Kingdom is sure, our destiny is set and our victory over sin in certain.
What we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words and actions. Paul tells us to program our minds with thoughts that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy
FRUITFUL OBSERVATION: Examine what 
we are putting into our mind through television, books, movies, and magazines. Replace harmful input with wholesome material.
Let’s read God’s Word and pray. Ask Him to help us focus our mind on what is good and pure TODAY AND EVERY DAY!
This is so true!! Very well said!! God’s word says it… Let’s keep the peace that passeth ALL UNDERSTANDING by hiding God’s word in our hearts.. There is no other peace like the peace that Our Great God provides for us…Love you Kim. This is such a blessing!! Thank you..

Trusting in God and looking to his word does make being positive either! It is hard to fight those negative thoughts that creep in-that’s why we need God to make us stronger and take care of us!
