Php 4:5-8 ... The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (KJV)
There is at least one thing that has all of the attributes, the Word of God.
The Bible is a collection of the thoughts of God on every subject we will encounter in life. They are thoughts that we can think, thoughts that will lift us to His position, they are higher than our thoughts. His thoughts are better than our thoughts. His thoughts are grander than our thoughts and His thoughts produce His ways.
His thoughts produced His Words. His Words produced actions ("let there be" and there was). Those actions set in motion our world and the lives we can live in Him. The Words of God establish the position and potential of God in our lives. For example He has declared Himself to Jehova Jireh, The Lord our provider, because He is the Lord and He changes not, because the Word of God is settled forever in Heaven He will forever be our provider. With God the impossible is possible He is Almighty God.
His thoughts in our hearts and minds, His Words upon our lips will produce His will accomplished in our lives. His Word on our lips releases the potential of God into our lives.
The words of our mouths and meditations of our hearts are of great importance. David asked that both be pleasing to God. Again let me say that the relationship of our words to our actions must be understood ... our words combined with our actions frame our worlds. Your mate can be your "old lady" or your "old man", or your best friend and greatest love. We are the ones who choose our words, thats why we should engage our hearts and minds before our mouths.
Think on these things ... the higher things ... the higher ways. Be Blessed in Jesus.
SELAH
