Today I was reminded about how quickly thoughts can run wild and change your mood from the inside out. How quickly thoughts can escalate and go places you don’t want to go. The word of God tells us in 2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ. I caught myself, thinking about things that weren’t helpful or realistic, I grabbed them, took them captive, and I changed my thoughts. I turned my focus off of myself and into prayer, asking God to change my mind, to help me focus my thoughts on things above and thanking him for always working on me. God is good all the time.

Joy

Joy comes from the Lord

One needs to hold fast to it

Yes, joy is for you and me
