Greetings,
Have you ever noticed how those who have endured the most trouble and tribulation are usually the happiest people and have the greatest faith in God? That’s because they have a healthy perspective! Embracing a healthy perspective is vital to living a good life. If your perspective is negative, your whole life will be too.
On the other hand, those who have the least to complain about, often do so the most and the loudest. Those around them sometimes are thinking, “Do you not see how good you really have it?”
Remember how God miraculously delivered Israel from the Egyptians so that they walked across the Red Sea on dry ground? They ate angels’ food in the desert and lived in what we would call “air conditioned comfort” by day and “central heat” by night.
Their shoes and clothes did not wear out and a rock followed them that constantly poured forth rivers of water in the dry desert. Yet, these same people constantly complained. I would say that it’s always better to have a thankful heart!
Psalm 75:1 (NKJV) – “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.”
Father, help me to focus on the many, many good things in my life, rather than the few disappointments I’ve encountered along the way. As the old song goes, “All of my good days, outweigh my bad days, I won’t complain.” Lord, You have truly been good to me!
Today, I’m worshiping with Shekinah Glory Ministries and “How Deeply I Need You.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
