Everyday Choose Your Thought Life

I just stared at my journal looking at the verse I had written down from Psalm 139:5, “You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.”  I didn’t believe it. I was feeling sorry for myself and God felt far away so I slammed my journal shut. 

We have a choice on what we think on and I was making bad thought choices. I felt my circumstances weren’t fair and I was tired of waiting. I know where the “Poor Me” road leads so out of obedience I put on fun music and said the verse aloud, “God I trust that You. Your hand of blessing is on my head.  It wasn’t an immediate shift in my attitude but the choice to think on what I knew was true and then names things aloud that I was thankful for, made a difference.  The truth is, God loves you right where you’re at, no matter how you’re feeling …everyday.
