Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Tune in to a great day of JOY in the LORD!
As I was
reading Renee Swope’s new book A
Confident Heart, I found
an analogy that I just had to share with you!
She suggests that our thoughts are like radio frequencies….AM and
FM. “They
are either AM (against me) or FM (for me).
Many times we can be our worst critics, and we have a lot of AM
thoughts. We also have an enemy who is
completely against us. He is jealous of
God’s glory in us and threatened by the beauty that lies within the heart of a person
whose identity is secure. That is why he attacks our confidence. He knows if he can paralyze us with
self-doubt and insecurity we will never live up to the full potential of who we
are and what we have in Christ.”
If we find
ourselves tuning in to the AM channel of thoughts….always thinking negatively
and doubting our value as a child of God, then we will be allowing the enemy to
steal our joy. That is NOT how to live a
victorious life in Christ.
Listen to
the words in 1 Peter 5:8-9: “Be alert and of sober mind. Your
enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to
devour. Resist
him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers
throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
Stay alert and on guard…we do have an enemy that wants to sink his ugly
teeth of doubt into us. Tune in to the FM thoughts of JOY in the LORD!
