Have you ever had a day where everything went your way? A day that felt like you orchestrated it yourself? I have been having those days frequently. Even if nothing truly eventful happens, the day just kind of happened the way that I planned. Have you ever heard the saying, "what you think about you bring about." I have been seeing instances of this being true all over the place. Not only in my own life, but in my friends and families lives also. Not just good things, but also the bad. I never ceases to amaze me about how many people dwell on just the perceived "bad" things that are happening in their lives and when they are surprised that things just don't get better. If you have a facebook page you will never read the end of disappointed people. I have made a deal with myself to really only focus on the good things in my life and just be grateful for everything that God has blessed me with, instead of what I may feel is lack.
1 Chronicles 4:10, we read: "And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that Thine hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested."
I plan on reminding myself of this prayer everyday. Even when God gives us challenging times we need to remind ourselves to trust in Him. He will work it all out for us. I don't want to be someone who is just getting through life, but someone who is living a vibrant life. What kind of life do you choose to live?
"what you think about is what you bring about"
