Philippians 4 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Philippians 4.

Meditate on verse 8.

Finally, brethren, whatever is true,

whatever is honorable,

whatever is right,

whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely,

whatever is of good repute,

 if there is any excellence

 and if anything worthy of praise,

dwell on these things.

God wants this letter to change your attitude and make you mature in Christ. The LORD’s goal for you is to stand firm in Him (Philippians 4:1). In order to stand firm, you need to think like Christ. God does not leave you guessing how He thinks. He gives you the mind of Christ in a list and commands you to dwell there.

The word “dwell” has the connotation of not just something you think about doing, but something you are actually living.

Do you live in truth, honor, righteousness, purity, loveliness, a good reputation, excellence, and things worthy of praise? Do those eight characteristics describe your attitudes and actions? Do they describe your life?

Pray Philippians 4:8 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, let and me dwell on and in

whatever is
true, honorable, right,

pure, lovely, of good reputation,

excellent, and worthy of praise.

 For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
