Cheerful vs Gloomy

Proverbs 15 :
15. When a man is gloomy, everything seems to go wrong;
when he is cheerful, everything seems right!
Living Bible

So much of our success and failure in life depends on our point of view.
If I believe I've failed, or that I am a failure, then that seems to invite things to go even more wrong for me.

But if my view is that I made some destructive choices in the past, but with the help of the Lord, I will make progressive choices in the future, then I begin taking steps towards inviting success into my life.

Today if your life seems to be a constant struggle, it's time to change your perspective.
Here is God's perspective on your life:

Jeremaih 29:
11 I alone know the plans I have for you,
plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster,
plans to bring about the future you hope for.
12 Then you will call to me.
You will come and pray to me, and I will answer you.
13 You will seek me,
and you will find me because you will seek me with all your heart.
Good News Bible

Will you take the risk of believing God when He says these things about your life? You will find your life going in a really positive direction if you decide to take Him at His word.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for Your promises to me today. If I have trouble trusting You the way I should, please help me with this. My desire is to trust You fully with my life and future,
in Jesus' name,
Amen.



There's a new thought here tomorrow.
See you then, God willing!





Psalm 107:
17 Some fools turned against God and suffered for the evil they did.
18 They refused to eat anything, so they almost died.
19 In their misery they cried out to the LORD, and he saved them from their troubles.
20 God gave the command and healed them, so they were saved from dying.
21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his love and for the miracles he does for people.
22 Let them offer sacrifices to thank him. With joy they should tell what he has done.
(New Century Bible)
