Rest In The Lord

Psalm 37:7 "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass."
Negative thoughts block your creativity and problem solving abilities, as does worrying about what others do and say. Make up your mind to embrace personal changes as an opportunity to be different and rise above the commotion of life. There is always a benefit and opportunity when you replace anticipation with expectancy  You will notice a more powerful attitude of faith growing within you each passing day. So, choose your thoughts and attitudes about each change you encounter and that you make. Recognize how your positive thoughts build bridges to possibilities and opportunities in your present and future. Let your mind and spirit rest in the hope of the Lord. and quit fretting over what people do or say. It's that relaxation that allows you to deal well with any positive changes in your lifestyle and mindset. Create smart goals so you can consciously guide the changes you anticipate making. Realistic goal setting helps you decide how to make the changes happen that you need. It also helps you experience your successes through the grace and glory of God in spite of what people say and do. Your goal is to please God, rest in Him, and not let others persuade you that you can't change. Just wait patiently on Him and see Him do in you what nobody else can do.

Dine at the Master's Table

Why do you accept seconds rather than do what is  needed to keep your faith fresh and really trust God in all things.? It appears that many in the church would rather ride a dead horse into the ground before accepting the necessary changes that would make their faith relevant to the problems they face today. You have to refuse to be afraid of change or think that change is always bad. God is real and so is life and change is going to come whether you like it or not. It's what you do with it that makes the difference.You've heard many talk about old time faith, but faith is never old time. It always on time faith that you read about in Hebrews 11. It's not about just getting by, but it's about persevering even in the worst possible conditions. Nobody in that chapter settled for seconds and neither should you. If God said it, then believe it, accept it, and receive it. Let your faith be fresh and full and dine at the Master's table!
