Day 1: Choosing to Think Yourself Happy in Every Circumstance

Your mind has a powerful way of influencing your emotions and your daily behavior. What you choose to think about often translates directly into how you feel and how you treat those around you. Even when the enemy tries to throw unholy or negative thoughts your way, you have the power to challenge them. By reinforcing your mind with positive, spiritual truths, you can change the outlook of your entire situation. This process begins with a commitment to evaluate your thoughts through the lens of God’s goodness.

I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews. (Acts 26:2 KJV)

Reflection: When you look at your current challenges, what is one negative thought you have been dwelling on, and what is a specific truth about God’s character you can use to challenge it today?
