Stay Positively Positive

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.Philippians 4:8

Even if your life isn’t peachy keen you don’t have to be drug down in a dark pit. You can choose to be uplifted by keeping your thinking positive. It requires discipline such as turning of news which feeds your mind with doom and gloom. 

Don’t fixate in negative things and keep talking about them as it doesn’t change things. A good example is continually feeding mind on Covid statistics which can fuel anxiety. God wants his children fixated on ways to lift up others not cause them stress. 

Don’t be a ‘Debbie Downer’ but instead seek ways to spread joy, peace, love, and contentment. Don’t dwell on negative issues or negative people who maybe don’t like you. Shake off the past and focus on God’s goodness. Let those people ‘in the world’ stay negative but you must seek to help show how to be positive. 

PRAYER: Oh Lord you are beautiful. Help me to choose praise and Thanksgiving daily over flipping on negativity and having wrong negative thinking. My desire is to spread joy. Give me strength to resist negativity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
