everything we do and say tells a story of who we serve. if we impulsively act and speak out of anger, we are giving the enemy exactly what he wants. i'm sure he chuckles and says "see, i told you that you couldn't do it". BUT if we honor the Lord with our words and actions, we are spreading His truth and light. at the end of the day, honoring God leads to good things.
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one
as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.
Ecclesiastes 7:14
it's not easy, believe me. my first reaction isn't joy; it isn't happiness; it's anger. the only way i can change that is to make a concentrated effort to choose happiness. to look for the good in the world each and every day. it takes faith to believe that happiness cannot exist without some discontentment. but if change is going to happen, it has to start somewhere, right? so why not with me? why not with you? why not today, despite your situation? let's be different. let's be happy. let's spread His light today.
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD
ps...the day i chose happiness, the situation i was so angry about was resolved! :) thank you Jesus!!
