What is your Perspective?

Perspective-the state of one's ideas

I Thessalonians 5: 16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

What is going on your life? How do you look at things today?

Do you get out of bed thinking this is going to be a bad day? Or do you thank God you have the ability to get out of bed.

Do you complain about putting on your shoes? What about the man that has no feet?

Do you complain about the food you eat? What about the thousands that have no food?

Do you complain about the house you live in? What about the people who have no bed?

Lord everything that I need — physically, spiritually and emotionally — today. Help me to trust in You!

God doesn’t give us grace for a year at a time or even a month at a time. No, every twenty-four hours God has a fresh new supply of grace, favor, wisdom and forgiveness. How are you going to make it through the seasons of your life?

One day at a time.

Look for His grace today. Look for His provision today. Look for His hand of favor and blessing today because He promises to supply everything you need for today.

Colossians 3 15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
