Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It tastes a lot better if you are drinking it
with a good attitude!!
We all have
days when our attitudes are not very cheerful.
Is it because of our thought patterns?
Think about it! When you notice
your attitude going south….toward the negative….stop and examine the situation.
The problem might have begun with your thought-life. In order to avoid thinking negatively, we
must keep our thoughts renewed. Ephesians
4:23 says: “And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind.”
How can we
be sure that we are “constantly renewing” our thoughts and our attitudes? Think for a moment about the person that
really gets on your last nerve! Do you
find yourself thinking about all the reasons he irritates you? Do you replay in your mind over and over
again the things she has said or done to hurt you?
1 Corinthians 2:16 reminds us that we have
been given the mind of Christ. But He will not FORCE us to use it! We have to
be intentional about thinking with the mind of Christ. When we accept Jesus as
our Savior, we are a new creature; old things pass away and all things become
new….even our thoughts.
My prayer
for each of us today is that God will renew our thought patterns. Let’s allow
him take those negative thoughts and transform them into JOYful ones.
Drink your JOY JUICE faithfully so that your
thinking will be renewed with JOYful thoughts!
