Believing in the Good

Believing in the Good. Not the bad. It has been proven that what we think about becomes what we say and then what we do.  For example, if we watch shows about making money, saving money, being wise with money - we end up saving our money and making wise choices. It has also been said that 'garbage in, garbage out.' If we constantly watch shows and talk about how broke we are, we end up broke. Some call it a self fulfilling prophecy. Our words have power - the power of life and death!

Today I would like to challenge all of us, me included. Let us lift our heads and look up. Look to God, the Author and Finisher of our Faith for the good. Let us claim His promises and talk about them. Let's release the goodness of God in the land of the living and especially over ourselves.


Here are some promises to hold on to today as God smiles at you ;)


God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face
and make you prosper. (Numbers 6:24-26 MSG)
You serve me a six-course dinner
right in front of my enemies.
You revive my drooping head;
my cup brims with blessing. (Psalm 23:5 MSG)

God, mark us with grace and blessing! Smile! The whole country will see how you work, all the godless nations see how you save. God! Let people thank and enjoy you. Let all people thank and enjoy you. Let all far-flung people become happy and shout their happiness because You judge them fair and square, you tend the far-flung peoples. God! Let people thank and enjoy you. Let all people thank and enjoy you. Earth, display your exuberance! You mark us with blessing, O God, our God. You mark us with blessing, O God. Earth’s four corners—honor him! (Psalm 67:1-7)


God-of-the-Angel-Armies, come back! Smile your blessing smile: That will be our salvation. (Psalm 80:7)


God is Not Done with Us Yet
