God cannot lie. (Titus 1:2) Satan is the father of lies.
(John 8:44) Which of these two categories describe us? God tells us to
not bear false witness against our neighbor. (Ex. 20:16) God commands us to
gird our waist with the truth. (Eph. 6:14a) We are to purchase truth and not
sell it. (Prov. 23:23a) God’s intention for us is to live in the truth.
If we abide in the truth we are God’s. If we live in lies we belong to Satan.
Who do you belong to?
Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day until you think on what God considers lovely. Then dwell on those things. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.
