Be Positive
1 Corinthians 1:4-5 (Amplified Bible)
4I thank my God at all times for you because of the grace (the favor and spiritual blessing) of God which was bestowed on you in Christ Jesus,
5[So] that in Him in every respect you were enriched, in full power and readiness of speech [to speak of your faith] and complete knowledge and illumination [to give you full insight into its meaning].
The Word of God says, " Depart for evil and do good; seek, inquire for , and crave peace and pursue ( go after) it!" (Psalm 34:14). "Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining [against God] and questioning and doubting [ among yourselves]". ( Philippians 2:14).
Be positive. Get rid of gossiping and complaining. Start your day by reading the Bible so that you will know how to speak from the authority of God's Word. Spend time listening to God, and then tell others what you hear Him say. Bring life to whatever situations you face.
Starting Your Day Right-Joyce Meyer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is something I work on everyday! Some days more then others especially ever since my mom passed away. For some reason my positiveness went out the door with her death. Some days it takes all I got to be positive. I know God is with me and that helps So much! Because I know with out Him I be lost and in a very dark place!
So I continue to pick up His Word each morning and through out the day and surrond myself with godly people ,to get the encouragement I need to press on. I know this will pass in time.
Have a wonderful positive day

Standing Firm
Standing Firm
by Aaron Peters
“Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.” -1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV)
Sometimes, the road which God has called us to walk can become hard to endure. Despite our faithfulness and diligence, obstacle after obstacle, and discouragement after discouragement, seem to be our only rewards. In the face of such adversity, it is easy to lose hope. We begin to question why we are even on this path and look for ways to escape. But as the prophet Jonah would find out centuries before us, running away from our problems is not the solution. God, with gentleness and firmness, will always bring us back to the point where we will have to confront the mission which He has laid out for us.
When God has placed us in situations, it is not without reason. Although we may not see it immediately because of the limits of our human perception, God is fulfilling His perfect will for our lives and for others. He never calls us to a task only to watch us fall. It would go against His nature, and His promise to never abandon us. Our role is to simply carry on the work He has called us to do and trust Him in His divine plan. When we encounter hard times and the pressure is against us, it is in these moments where our faith in Him who is able to overcome will be strengthened; that is if we continuously hold on to Christ. Resting in His promises to always catch us when we fall and that any good work done in His name will not return void, will encourage us when hardship seems to be our lot. By standing on the promises of God we will be able to labour diligently and joyfully knowing that victory belongs to Him. In this assurance, we will be able to enjoy watching His plan unfold before us and stand in awe of His infinite wisdom.
