“Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.”
This is an instruction on how we can keep our hearts right - by living in awe of the Lord and what He is doing in our lives and world and by staying in a posture of continual praise. If we can discipline our mind and our heart to stay focused on Him, we won’t get drawn off-track. We won’t look up and find ourselves wasting time and energy on distractions. Instead we will be continually refilling ourselves with the Presence and the goodness of the Lord. This instruction gives us something to strive for - like a home base to come back to and a point that we can continually be setting our aim.
