Don’t Miss These 3 Easy Steps to Peace and Joy

What are you thinking? Right now?

Don’t say nothing, because humans are always thinking. Even when we’re asleep, we’re thinking. Consider the last crazy dream you had. See? I told you.

What are you thinking as you struggle with a hurt or disappointment you just can’t shake?

What are you thinking as you face a serious health or relational challenge?

What are you thinking as you navigate this wonderful/horrible/exciting/terrifying thing called life?

What we think matters. It can determine whether we live in fear, confusion, and defeat, or live fearlessly, confidently, and victoriously.

Thoughts aren’t automatic

Most of us assume thinking is an automatic action, like driving. Thoughts just pop into our heads, and we have no control over them, right?

Wrong.

We have the power to control, direct, and reframe our thoughts.

And if we don’t allow God to control them, they will control us. Like the steering wheel on a car, our thoughts can take us places we never intended to go and do more harm than we ever imagined. They can discourage, depress, and defeat us.

Our thoughts have the power to lead us down dark alleys where Satan lives. Remember: not everything we think is true. Nor should we act upon everything we think.

In contrast, our thoughts also have the power to lead us to the freedom and fruitfulness God has for us.
