How we think feeds our path. Thinking is key. Defending sometimes requires no thinking. One can defend a doctrine because he believes he read a verse which says such, but doesn't bother to think about it. Simon of Luke 7 was passing judgment; but he wasn't thinking. To think does not prove a good day. It's how we think which helps us pass the test.
Philippians 4:4-9 is a passage regarding peace. Peace hinges on how we choose to think. If we let our mind dwell on the things which haven't worked, we will find ourselves possibly consumed with the ability to state facts but not hope. Yet, if we will practice the call of these verses to rehearse in our minds the things in life which are excellent, lovely, and worthy of praise, odd and wonderful life begins to flow from the exact same person. The way we think makes or breaks our lives.
To think well is not insurance against matters going wrong. It is training to see life through the storms arriving at the beauty of the rainbow which would not be there except for the unwanted storm. Lemons really do make lemonade when our thinking keeps from going sour!
