SEARCH FOR GOOD

Proverbs 11:27 If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you!

God wants us to look for the good in life and believe for the best outcome not the worst. When it looks like things are going wrong we need to go to the Word of God and get ourselves some hope. We can put the Word above our circumstances, and believe it can change them because things are temporary. The Word of God though is eternal and cannot be changed by experiences, circumstances or people's opinions! Jesus is the Word, the same yesterday, today and forever. 

Our verse warns us not to go looking for bad things, not to look for the negative all the time because it says we'll actually draw it to ourselves! We all know people like that who can find something negative to say about anything but what they don't realise is God says they're actually attracting the bad stuff to themselves by their words and attitudes!

If we're positive by nature it's easy to see the good, but it's more of a challenge if we've been brought up in a negative environment with critical, negative influences. But the good news is with God's help we can learn to look for the good in our everyday lives.😊

God always encourages us to expect the best not the worst, and if we'll do as He says He says we'll find favour. In other words we'll attract the good things, the good 'happenings' to us. We'll be at the right place at the right time.

As we begin this new week let's expect and search for the good wherever we go and we will surely receive a reward - favour with God and man.

 Have a 'good filled' week.😊
