“Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.His heart is steady; he will not be afraid.” Psalm 112: 1a, 7-8a (ESV)
We can choose to be positive, optimistic, and full of faith when our hearts are secure in the Lord. Fear can come and go, but we don’t have to remain in it. If we fear the Lord, we will allow his Word to renew our minds and keep us grounded in faith so that we don’t allow our feelings to rule. The Bible calls those that fear the Lord happy. They have learned to respect God’s commandments and reverence God. When our heart is firm, we are not going to waver in our faith. When we walk around with a positive attitude people will draw to us because we are allowing Jesus to rule in our hearts. Here are some scriptures to keep us positive and full of faith:
1. With God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)
2. Jesus prunes us so we will be even more productive for God. (John 15:2)
3. God’s discipline is good because it means I share in His holiness. (Hebrews 12:10)
4. I display a new nature because I am a new person, created in God’s likeness. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
5. Nothing can separate us from God’s love. (Romans 8:39)
6. God satisfies me and fills me with good things. (Psalm 107:9)
7. God’s words are health to my whole body. (Psalm 119:50)
8. God is for me so no one can ever be against me. (Romans 8:31)
“Lord, thank you for your Word that keeps me optimistic and full of faith. I choose to encourage others by my attitude and the life that I live and words of faith that I speak.”
For His Glory
