TODAY’S WORD
When the apostle Paul wrote today’s Scripture, he had already been held in prison on false charges for several years. He’d also survived a shipwreck on the way to prison in Rome. You would think that he would be discouraged, surely he’d be complaining. But he was telling us that even when it doesn’t go your way, just keep giving God praise, keep thanking God that He’s working, and keep being grateful when you could be complaining.

Keep thinking victory when you’re seeing defeat. Happiness is not dependent on what’s going on around you; it’s dependent on what’s going on inside you. What kind of thoughts are you thinking? “I’ll never get well. I can’t break this addiction. I can’t be happy after this loss.”
You’re thinking yourself discouraged. If you’re going to live happier, you have to tune that out. You can’t take in negative all the time and stay in faith. Paul added, “Think on things that are of a good report, things that are positive, hopeful.” Our thinking the right thoughts is the key to our happiness.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that no matter what my circumstances are that I don’t have to live discouraged and frustrated and unhappy. Thank You that You have made this day and I can rejoice and be glad in it. I will choose joy because I know You are in control. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
