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. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you (Philippians 4:8-9).
The heart encompasses the mind and all that comes from it. Protect your heart and govern it with the Word of God. Most importantly, when a thought enters the forefront of your mind, remember to examine it by the standard of the Word of God. Depending on how it measures up, you can accept the thought or choose to reject it. We are given the freedom and power to choose. It is important that we do so wisely.
