Good morning to all of my friends and family! I love you all, even those Christians who have read my blog who I will never meet this side of heaven.
Today I propose a challenge which will be much more difficult for those of you who are going through truly hard times than it will be for others, for whom life is a gentle sail along on smooth waters for the time being (all two or three of you). Why don't we spend today thanking God for every good gift He has given us? When a negative thought comes, try to think of three good things associated with that issue. If there is a call to action associated with the negative thought, thank God that you will have the opportunity to watch His creative care in action, then proceed to view the negative thing as a challenge to be overcome with God! If there is not one single thing you can do about the issue, INTENTIONALLY MOVE YOUR MIND to one of the one billion good things God has and is doing/providing! (If you are a chronic news watcher/reader, you may have to cut back for this plan to work.) The upshot of this challenge is that you will be soaking your challenges in effective prayer and thanking and praising God, A LOT!
God cares about the details of our lives, and you can trust Him with them. "Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing." (Psalm 34:10) (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, Second Edition, Tyndale House Publishers, Carol Stream, Illinois, 2007)
