Why do we all expect bad things to happen? It seems that people always search for bad things in life. They never stop and think about positive things. They are all the time gloom and doom. I am no exception to this, I feel this way a lot. I feel like there is so many bad things happening to me or around me, what is the use in looking for something good to happen.
I have been enlightened....or whatever you want to call it. We, as God's children, need to come to a realization of just who we really are. We are children of the most High King! Our Father owns everything....He holds all things in His hands. That being said, then why do we at times fret or worry about our problems? Do we tend to forget of whom we serve? Or is it that we want to place boundaries for God in our lives? I know worrying and burdens are all apart of being human. We just need to start thinking about positive things instead of negative ones, all of the time. We need to get up out of bed everyday and say "Something good is going to happen to me today!" If we can start thinking positive then we may be able to reverse all of the negative thoughts that sin and living in the world has caused us to believe.
In the book of Isaiah in chapter 66 verse 1 it says: "Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool...." Imagine this with me.....God said the heaven is His throne and the earth is His footstool. When I think about that I imagine HUGE!!!!!! With our God being that big it makes my worries seem like a particle in the air, like a spec of dust. If our problems are that small to Him, and He is taking care of everything that we need in life, then why do we worry so much? Yes, I know that our problems seem so gigantic at times, but that is when we need to tell ourselves that God is taking care of everything.
The bible says in Proverbs chapter 3 verses 5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Which to me means that if we are doing what is right, and we acknowledge Him, He is going to lead and guide us through everything that life throws at us. That is a promise He made!
The point I am trying to make is this....We don't need to get comfortable with where we are right now. We don't need to plant our feet and not step on out into the waters of God. We need to fully submerge ourselves. We need to stop worrying about what if and just step out in Faith. If you are needing a healing then ask God and believe. If you are needing help with financial problems ask God and then believe. If you are having problems in any of your relationships then ask God to help you and then believe. We need to leave it with Him and believe and have faith that He knows what He is doing. Just go around everyday, all day saying "God is doing something good for me today." And expect it to happen. I think that by us expecting good things to come our way then it gets His attention. He is always looking for children He can bless. All we have to do is receive it.
Jesus said "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." All we have to do is ask and then believe!
Remember the woman with an issue of blood in the bible?(Luke 9:43-47) Do you think she would of ever gotten anywhere by staying home and sulking in her own pity? No, I don't believe she would. She would of still had her issue of blood and still miserable. The bible said that she spent all of her life going around to doctors looking to find a cure or to be healed. But she wasn't satisfied with the way she was living her life and she heard about Jesus. She believed that if she could just touch the hem of his garment, she would be healed. She just didn't think about it she done it. And because of her faith, she was made whole. If she had thought negatively she would of never got healed. She didn't sit around and think of the negative things in her life....she went looking for a blessing! She expected to be healed and got it.
We just need to embrace the fact that nothing is impossible with God. If we can fully capture this, then we will have conquered all of the fears and worries that the devil throws at us to make us doubt God. It will diminish all negativity in our lives and not put a limit on what God can do for us.
I felt really led to write this and I hope that it will help someone out there who is going through the same things I have lately.
I love you all and I give Jesus the glory and praise for everything!
