Enough Already…

Is there anyone else who has about enough of the way things are. In so many quarters all we see is negativity. I for one have had enough. The thing is what we put into our heads can’t help but change our trajectory. Put enough negativity in and surprise, surprise, surprise, you’ll also succumb to negativity. Maybe it’s time we said “Enough Already.”

But what if instead we refused to participate. What is we decided for every negative thing we see rather than giving it the power to negatively impact our day, we made the conscious decision to do something positive instead. What if for every negative meme, we made (or even shared) a positive one? What is we determined to let negativity die the death it deserves, by refusing to comment, like or share, and instead found something that will bring someone thoughts of hope, love and joy.

That’s what I intend to do. I am determined from this day forward to be a bringer of love, hope and joy.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

In case you need an example.

Expect the Unexpected

God is good, powerful, awesome and a whole lot more. Needless to say all the positive adjectives in the world will not be adequate to describe the totality of God, but there’s one word that cannot be overlooked. That word is unpredictable. The saying He works in mysterious ways is a pretty profound understatement. About the time you think you have it all figured out, there’s usually a plot twist that leaves you wondering what’s going on. It’s in these moments that we need to remember one more word.

God is faithful. Sometimes we have to take these leaps of faith. How good is it to know we jump into the arms of the One who never misses and never fails.

Following God is an adventure. We need to trust the unpredictable to the One who is eternally faithful.

We may have to expect the unexpected, but we also trust in the One who never fails expectantly.
