    This document discusses how to maintain joy through thinking rightly, even during uncertain times. It begins by noting that joy starts in the mind, and our thoughts impact our emotions and actions. We must guard our minds and train them to think about things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy. The document then provides three areas to think rightly about: 1) God, focusing on his sovereignty, perfection, and protection, 2) ourselves, remembering God's love and forgiveness, and 3) circumstances, trusting that God is in control. Thinking rightly involves disciplining our thoughts to focus on these positive truths from God.

    Share something JOYFUL that happened this week? 


    THINK RIGHT
    Being Joyful in the Midst of Uncertainties
    God commands us to be Joyful and it all begins
    in the MIND 
    • Paul defined what we must dwell on which are
    the qualities found in Jesus Himself.
    • Our thinking impacts our EMOTIONS and
    our emotions impact our ACTIONS (T.E.A.
    principle).
    • We need to guard and train our minds to
    THINK RIGHT.
    Filter our thoughts in accordance with things
    that are:
    • TRUE – rather than lies;
    • HONORABLE (worthy) – rather than shameful things;
    • RIGHT – or just, as opposed to wrong and unfair things;
    • PURE – as in holy or righteous, rather than the immoral;
    • LOVELY – beautiful and uplifiting, VS rotten
    • Of Good Repute – encouraging things that inspire rather than criticize and pull
    down
    • Excellent & Worthy of Praise – rather than disappointing or negative thoughts
    Thinking RIGHT is a discipline we need to PRACTICE.
    What are the things we need to “think right” about?
    1. THINK ABOUT GOD – reminds us to take every thought captive. We battle lies by focusing on the
    truth. When we keep on thinking right about God, we will be able to guard our thought life 

    - GUARD your
    Thoughts
    - Be Careful How you
    Think
    - Fight with TRUTH.
    Some truths about GOD we must focus on:

    • GOD is
    Sovereign and all-
    powerful (Is. 46:9-
    10)
    • God is perfect
    (Deut. 32:4)
    • God is light &
    shield (Ps. 84:11-
    12)
    2. THINK RIGHT ABOUT SELF
    • Instead of despair and insecurities, we can choose to remember GOD’s love
    for us, renew our minds in Christ and meditate on God’s word day & night.
    • In Christ, we are forgiven, redeemed and made new!
    3. Think Right about CIRCUMSTANCES.

    • We can trust in the Lord because the


    times of our lives are in His Sovereign
    hands! No matter what the
    circumstance we are in, nothing can
    separate us from God’s love. 
    THINK RIGHT WHEN THINGS GO BAD
