Philippians 4:8

8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

How can we only think this way? We live in a world that just doesn’t lend itself to such thinking. This seems like a huge burden for us and it is, but it sure isn’s for Christ Whose yoke we now wear. 

For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne. Matthew 11:30

We are now new creatures in Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:17. We have died, yet we live, yet it is not us who lives it is Christ in us Who lives, Galatians 2:20. Jesus is now our Head and we are now His body, Ephesians 5:30-32. This means that the burden of what we think on is Jesus’ and not ours. One of the great Truth’s of salvation is that Jesus causes us to think on what we need to think on. 

Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

Now here is even a greater Truth, as we live in this world, or what the Bible calls Babylon, we will become weaker. The world and all of its evil will continually attack us and our flesh will weaken. Sin is going to abound all around us as this happens, yet as it does, Christ will grow in strength within us.

So for the sake of Christ, I am well pleased and take pleasure in infirmities, insults, hardships, persecutions, perplexities and distresses; for when I am weak [in human strength], then am I [truly] strong (able, powerful in divine strength). 2 Corinthians 12:10

Jesus will absolutely cause us to think on our Father’s Truth. He will grow within us. He is the Word and the Word ever lives to intercede for us so that we are saved to the uttermost!
