Psalm 35:9 Then I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be glad because he rescues me.
Always look on the bright side of life. Remember the song? Now that is a healthy maxim for daily living isn't it? When you start to feel a little down just hum that song for a few minutes and I guarantee you'll start to smile! There always is a bright side if we'll just look for it.
The enemy makes it so easy to look on the negative, but the Lord turns it round. He says be glad for the good things that are happening, for all the things you can do, for all the hundreds of blessings you do have. You may not be able to meet together every week but you can still phone someone. We can still show someone else we care about them.
Just because you might not feel as strong or bouncy today as you did before, keep praising the Lord for the strength you have got and believe for Him to restore strength to you again. Get your Tigger back!
Plant seeds of kindness into people's lives this week and see a harvest of kindness being returned to you in the coming days. Plant seeds of hope for better days ahead and feel your own spirit lift. When we see the good in people instead of seeing their faults we'll be easier to live with.
The Psalmist says in Psalm 121 I lift up mine eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Do you need help in cheering up? Then ask the Lord to help you cheer up, to lift your spirit. Do you need help in feeling positive about things, then ask the Lord to help you think positive thoughts, His God type thoughts, instead of depressing thoughts.
You know what you need help with today and so does God, so why not go to Him right now and ask for that help? He is more than willing to be our Helper today and every day.
