Today's word was sent by the same person who sent yesterday's word -Trust. Within a few short minutes after our long discussion concerning trust, they sent me this word. Today's discussion will be short. There are things the less we say to detract from the main point, the better.
This pretty much sums us up. We Believers are no better than the Israelites. No matter what we are blessed with ~ we are grumbling for what else we want. NEVER SATISFIED!
IF we could only adopt ~
our days of grumbling would soon be cut short. Look around you ~ think over how you are
Before you put your foot on the floor every morning, begin your day by stating out loud something, someone, or someway you have been blessed. Begin each day by remembering
Do not spend all your time listing your wants, instead remember your blessings. When life seems its hardest, remind yourself of the physical but especially spiritual riches which overflow in your life. In the prayer model A C T S --We speak our Adoration of The Omnipotent God, Confess our sins, GIVE THANKS for our blessings, and THEN add our supplications in our prayers. Speaking out loud what we have to be thankful for will lead to a change of heart. We will move from grumbling to gratitude. I leave you with this C.S. Lewis quote ~
"We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good; if bad, because it works in us patience, humility, contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country."
QUICK ~ NAME SOMETHING FOR WHICH YOU ARE GRATEFUL
"I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds."
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds."
Psalm 9:1
