SOAP: Philippians 4:8
What we allow our minds to focus on influences our actions. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to what we are thinking about. Are we focusing on the freedom we have in Christ? Are we intentionally renewing our minds with God’s truth? Or are we allowing our minds to replay over and over again our past mistakes, untruths, or hurtful words spoken? God made our minds to be powerful, but we must learn how to cultivate thoughts that are helpful and life-giving instead of harmful and hurtful. What we think about many times we bring about. Let’s examine our lives and the information we are allowing to influence our minds through television, books, and the internet. May we choose to focus on God’s truth instead of the world.

About this Plan
Joy is the theme in the book of Philippians, which is pretty amazing considering this letter was written by Paul while he was in prison. How is it possible to have joy in the midst of overwhelming sorrow and suffering? In the end, Paul teaches us that Jesus is the Author and only source of true joy.
