Creating an Atmosphere Where God Can Work
Adapted from Quiet Times with God
Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value].
Our thoughts, words, and attitudes create an atmosphere. It can be hectic and stressful, or it can be calm, positive, and even enjoyable. Thoughts become words, attitudes, body language, facial expressions, and even moods—and all of these things affect the atmosphere we live in.
God responds to our faith, our confident expectation that He is working on our behalf. If we have a negative situation, but a positive attitude, it opens the door for God to work and change our negative situation around.
God’s desire for us is that we learn to live with a positive attitude—an attitude of faith and hope. No matter what our circumstances, our minds belong to us, and no one should do our thinking for us. Be passionate about being positive and watch how God will work in your situation.
Prayer of the Day: Father God, I come to You in the name of Jesus and ask You to help me have a positive attitude and expectation that You will lift me up above my circumstances, enable me to have peace in the middle of the storm and experience joy regardless of what is going on around me, amen.
