"Life
is filled with highs and lows, and God is there during them all. At
times His will for our lives is very clear and at other times I think He
wants us to seek Him and wait for Him to make it clear. It's during the
seeking and waiting that we must hold on to our hope in Christ and
claim the peace He offers us." Melissa Taylor
Why is everyone so negative today? Is there nothing to be positive about in our world? I suspect if we were to take an inventory of the average person's thoughts, the majority of them would be negative.
I recall hearing about a single mother who had four children to raise on her own. Someone ask how she managed to do it. Her reply went something like this,
"The day I found myself in this situation I told the Lord I had four young ones to raise so I didn't have time to worry. Then, I told Him, "I'll just raise 'em and let You do the worryin' for me".
Take an emotional inventory. What negative emotion has become a hindrance in your life? Why?
Think about the way you begin each day. Are you afraid of what the day holds?
Colossians 3:2 (NIV) "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."
