Today’s reading: Philippians 4:8; Psalm 119: 142, 151, 160 and 172
With the goal of taking our thoughts and minds captive for God, the first thing Paul instructs us to focus on is “whatever is true” (Phil. 4:8). Dishonesty is rampant in today’s world-phone and email scams, fake news, cheating, corruption, deceitful business practices. But there’s one place we can turn to, with confidence, to find absolute truth-God’s Word, the Bible.

“But you are near, O LORD, and all your commandments are true (Psalm 119:151).
