2 Thessalonians 3:16
The Year is 2016, and already a lot has changed from previous years. As I listen to more and more people who’ve lost their jobs, the times they are changing. Friends, family, neighbors, and strangers are out of work for more than a year. Jobs have been moving overseas, leaving workers in disarray. Loyalty and hard work is no longer rewarded but disregarded as changes become more prevalent. Left to pick up the pieces of their lives, their salaries are reduced as they go in search for a new job in order to support their Continue reading “OUR NEW REALITY”
Finally,Brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.
Philippians 4:8
Everything you think about begins in the mind. Our thoughts shapes our character and conduct towards others. It molds our belief system. It encourages us to change our own reality towards righteous or unrighteous living. Who we are and the life we want to live is contingent on our thought process. When you meditate think on positive thoughts that will lead to life. Let your conduct give you peace instead of anxiety.
Concentrate on the things that will help you live according to God’s will. Character is who you are when no one is looking. It’s the decisions you make day to day. Your character influences your actions. We all have the power within us to choose positive thoughts and hold all negative thoughts captive. Practicing this principle will push out the dark thoughts and make more room for the light to shine forth in your life.
Before a word is uttered on my tongue,
Help me lord to overcome,
Let me think before I speak,
when speaking life to those I meet,
I am truly sorry for the words I’ve said
In anger to others
Who needs to be led,
Help me know what to say
when my words go astray
and indignation comes my way,
Teach me your truth,
While I read your good book,
I will continue to take a closer look.
I’ll stand in your peace
By not being a beast,
Please allow my love for others to increase
Search me, O Lord, and know my heart
For you have known me from the start,
Cleanse and change me,
from all that I am,
You know my name and that’s where I’ll stand,
In silence, meditating and listening to your word,
with God right beside me, never being deterred
Create a clean heart in me
to be all I can be,
So my words won’t defeat me,
for I totally trust in thee
I choose to speak life for the rest of my life,
Believing and hoping to live a life of less strife.
