Life is Good!

DAY 138
2-9-10
2 CHRONICLES 10-13


Good Morning!

Negativity is an infectious disease. It can overtake a person’s outlook on life; a marriage’s health; and a churches loving spirit. Negativity is not a product of the Spirit of God; it is a non-spiritual habit one can fall into.

There was real strife and problems in Judah. It can’t be denied. Problems and challenges are always around. However it is the constant focus on the negative, rather than the positive that destroys people, marriages, families, churches, and even nations. Yet, with all the real problems going on in Judah and Israel, in 2 Chronicles 12:12, the text reads, “There were still some good things in the land of Judah.”

With all the real problems that can exist, a positive, a faithful attitude goes a long way to help and resolve them. On the other hand, whining and complaining with no real solutions only adds to the problem. Accentuating the positive does not deny that problems and challenges exist. However it does create an atmosphere where all people can grow, change, love, mature, and find a measure of joy no matter what is going on.

Do you want to change negatives? Stop complaining and whining; admit there are good things going on; thank God for all his wonderful blessings; and pray that God will provide good attitudes and positive solutions to the negatives we face.

Life is Good!

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things. (Philippians 4:8)
