Have you wondered if there is a secret to the joy filled life? Can a joy filled life even be possible? Everyone wants to be happy. But can we really be filled with joy overflowing? So much of our joy level is determined by our thought life, and to be able to have a thought life that not only is pleasing to God, but one that is edifying and uplifting, we have to do some renewing in our gray matter, our brain!!! Romans 12:2 tells us to change the way we think. We are not to think like the world does, copying its behavior and customs, but we are to transform our minds to what the Word says about us. The message Bible says it this way, don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit in without thinking. Instead fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, developing well formed maturity in you. God is the lifter, he wants us to see beyond our own noses and really accomplish something for His kingdom. It sounds like the best way to do this is to obey the Word!!! Let’s fix our attention on God. Let’s raise our thought life to a higher level. We can begin then to live the joy filled life God wants for us.
