When a thought contradicts Scripture, we don't have to accept it as truth. We can reject it and intentionally replace it with what God says.Memorizing Philippians 4:8 can help us develop healthier thought patterns, renew our minds, and grow in our walk with Christ.📖 Scripture: Philippians 4:8 (NIV)💗 Support this ministry: https://bit.ly/ddmpartners👕 Shop Faith-Based Apparel & Gifts: https://dailydevotionalstore.com/🎙 Podcast:• Apple: https://apple.co/4vkyMa2• Spotify: http://bit.ly/3HoFlEB🔗 Connect with me: https://dailydevotionalministries.com/links📸 Follow on Instagram• Personal: https://www.instagram.com/dq_clarke• Daily Devotional Ministries: https://www.instagram.com/dailydevotionalministries👍 Follow on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/dailydevotionalminPurchases through applicable Amazon links help support Daily Devotional Ministries at no extra cost to you.
