Our Thoughts of Him

“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” (Philippians 4:8).

These eight things that are to occupy our thoughts are all attributes, qualities, and glories of the Lord Jesus. How many of these characteristics of the person of Christ are we going to think about today?

As the bride in the Old Testament enumerated the glories of her bridegroom, she ended by saying, “Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend” (Song of Solomon 5:16).This will be our response, too, as we remember Him today, and continue to think about Him in the days to come.
