A formula for peace of mind. Our mental well-being is determined to a great extent by what we feed it. Just like our eyes function with light and can therefore be injured by harmful light, and our ears with harmful sounds, so our minds need to avoid excessive negative thoughts and attitudes. Anger, resentment, and such like are like poison whereas pure, lovely, praise thoughts are like vitamins. Our fallen nature seems more attracted to wrongs than to virtue, so the news industry provides mostly trouble. Some negative material is needed for us to respond to the needs around us, but we should attenpt to give at least equal time to that which is good and has virtue. I feel that "truth" here means, Reliable, rather than true facts about wrong. Jesus said, "I am the...truth" ( Jn. 14:6). Think about our security and benefits of being in Him. And the God of peace will be with you.
