Philippians 4:8-9

8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter.
Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right.
Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable.
Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
9 Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and heard from me and saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you. (NLT)

Fix your thoughts on these eight things, what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and worthy of praise. God wants us to change how we think from worldly thoughts to Godly thoughts. As Roman 12:2 says, “Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.” (NLT) We are to focus our thoughts upward -- not horizontally or downward -- our thoughts are to be about Christ. Our focus is to be on Christ. The enemy of God wants to attack our minds so that we do not think of Christ. But we are to resist the enemy and turn our attention to Jesus.
As an athlete practices for his event we too are to keep on practicing what we have learned in Christ; day in and day out, moment by moment. We are to run the race that God has set before us and depend on Him throughout the race so that we will complete His will in us.
We are to emulate Christ and the God of peace will be with you.
