Philippians 4:11-Not that I speak in respect of want,for I have learned in whatsoever state I am...therewith to be content.
It's another Friday and this scripture has always been a favourite of mine simply because it reminds me to be thankful regardless of circumstance....It's really quite easy to say Thank you God when everything seems to be going right in your life however the greatest thanks is being able to be just as gracious even when nothing seems to be right with you.That point in your life when money is scarce,you feel absolutely alone and your back is against the wall...BE THANKFUL!Those are the Times when we grow in our faith the most...That is True Faith in motion!So I just want to encourage you today to not let yourself be blindsided by the negatives but to see that beautiful rainbow during the storm and having confidence that it will not last forever so that when it subsides and the sun comes a shining....you will have gained .I remember the story of Job when he was tested beyond imagination and you know he had every reason to give up his faith but he didn't!And because of all those trials he came out of that storm more faithful than when he begun.
This also shows the difference that a positive mind set can make in our lives.It's beyond seeing the glass half full or half empty......It's being able to allow yourself to think,speak and do only the good.Never let the negative things cloud your mind to that extent that you can't see all the great things that are there.I've seen for myself how simply expecting the good from others actually attracts the good to your own life.....just as I've also seen how holding on to the bad makes every day seem dull and dark and hopeless.Having a positive mindset gives you the courage to Dream,to expect amazing things to happen,To see an open door,To see past the storm to the brighter days ahead.It's a choice really....you can focus on the good or you can choose the bad.Whichever way you choose it will only expand.So Dream if you must,Let your fantasies become your reality....Focus on the Good and the universe will keep sending the same to you!. Be Blessed!.
