TODAY’S VERSE: James 1:5
“If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it.” [The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson]
“If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.” [Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation]
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Maintaining a positive attitude in our life journey is **vital** to obtaining successful outcomes. And this includes viewing our problems as life challenges with opportunities for growth. Believe me, once we start viewing difficulties and problems as such, our whole perspective on life is positively affected. And the results we yield through this mental attitude are incredibly beneficial –even impacting other people.
Someone once said, “Every problem has a solution…” And I agree, and would add to this phrase “…and God always has the BEST one!” For I believe there can be many solutions to any problem, but only following God’s lead with a solutions-oriented mentality will we be able to find the precise answer –and the needed strength and resources– for any problem we face in life.
Commit to be a solutions-oriented Christian. You never know who is observing you, and the way you and I handle our problems will be a witness of God’s awesome power working in and through us.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for being my True Source of all wisdom and understanding. Thank You for always being willing to offer me the best solution to any problem and difficulty I face. Help me to always rely on Your divine guidance and faithful direction, so that others may be blessed through me as I handle my life wisely and according to Your will. In Jesus’ precious name, amen.
