Relax & Enjoy

You can’t hold on to anger and still think loving thoughts. You can’t stay upset and still think with mercy. Every emotion we feel (good or bad) starts with what’s happening in our mind. That’s why we’ve got to be intentional about what we choose to dwell on (Romans 12:1-2).

The enemy is not creative. He runs the same old plays, especially in your thought life. Voices from outside and inside try to shut down your calling. If you do not learn to recognize and reject those wrong voices, they will push you toward wrong choices. Renew your mind by the Word of God.

I need God every day.

Concept: It’s mid-October, Halloween is just around the corner and there’s a street festival in town. The cold breeze is laced with the scent of cinnamon and caramel with a hint of coffee. The ground is dusted with hay and bright leaves get caught in piles as they dance across the town hundreds at a time. You’re snuggled up in your sweater, scarf, boots, hat, and gloves as you stroll through looking at every vendor you pass. To keep warm you buy a cup of cider and sip lightly until it cools a bit more. There’s Jack-o-lanterns on every surface and scarecrows out in the fields. It’s sunny in the morning, but as they day goes on a storm rolls in and a grey overcast settles over the town. It’s perfect.

God keeps His promises.
