HOW TO THINK

(1) 1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give
     thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear
     to all.

    (a) meditate = Strong's Greek Number 3191
          to care for, attend to carefully, practise, to
          meditate

     Vine's = "to care for" to attend to

(2)  1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give
     thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear
     to all.

(3)  1 Timothy 4:11-16
     11 These things command and teach.
     12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an
     example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in
     charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
     13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to
     exhortation, to doctrine.
     14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was
     given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the
     hands of the presbytery.
     15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to
     them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
     16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine;
     continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both
     save thyself, and them that hear thee.

(4)  Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart
     out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day
     and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to
     all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make
     thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good
     success.

(5)  Psalms 1:1-6
     1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel
     of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners,
     nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
     2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in
     his law doth he meditate day and night.
     3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of
     water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
     his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he
     doeth shall prosper.
     4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which
     the wind driveth away.
     5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
     judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the
     righteous.
     6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but
     the way of the ungodly shall perish.
 
(6)  2 Corinthians 10:5-6
     5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that
     exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and
     bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience
     of Christ;
     6 And having in a readiness to revenge all
     disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
 
(7)  Philippians 4:6-9
     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.
     9 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.

(8)  Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in
     every thing by prayer and supplication with
     thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto                              God.

    (a) Careful = Vine's = signifies "to be anxious about,
         to have a distracting care,"

    (b) Careful = Dake's = Do not tolerate anxiety or
         worry, for it will injure your own souls.  God alone
         can help you. And He will do it, if you will pray
         about everything that happens and give thanks for
         everything
