Change your
thoughts and change your life. How do you view your life? Do you see the glass
half empty or half full? Maybe you need an attitude adjustment and a new
perspective. You may be seeing your life through faulty lenses.
We lose
perspective in our lives when:
1. Discouragement occurs
2. Disappointment happens
3. Defeat, failure and regret sets in
4. Hope is deferred once again for those
things we are waiting for
5. We become weary in our waiting time
6. We stop being thankful and become
complainers and murmurs
7. Trials, circumstances, crisis and trauma
that are out of our control
All the
above can change our perspective in life. Life can let us down and our
expectations about life can let us down. We can become disillusioned very
quickly when our lives take a detour. A detour happens when the path we would
like to stay on gets detoured by life’s circumstances. If we are not careful
our attitudes can become rotten.
Maybe it’s
time to get your perspective back today. You might need new lenses to see out
of today. When you put on these new lenses your life will look differently.
How do
you get a new perspective?
1. In every situation, trial or
circumstance know that God will bring good from it. Maybe not right away but
good eventually can come from your worst circumstances.
2. Be thankful for the good and
blessings in your life. If you want the enemy to flee from you, then praise God
in everything; this will send the enemy packing. When you do this you are
telling God,” I trust you and I know you will turn this around for my good.”
3. Take the garbage out and stop your
stinkin’ thinkin’. Renew your mind and take all your thoughts into the obedience
of Jesus Christ. Don’t just allow anything to fall into your mind. You must be
proactive and stop the A.N.T.S. (automatic negative thoughts).
4. Ask God to renew your faith as your
waiting for His promise to come to pass in your life. Some of you have been
waiting a long time for certain things, and you have grown weary and
disillusioned.
5. See the good in every situation. Don’t
see the negative in a situation but see the potential and the good that can
come from it.
6. Surrender your life to God totally.
That means giving up controlling your life and others.
From our
perspective, God seems slow to intervene on our behalf. But what might appear
slow to us is good timing from God’s perspective. It is easy to become impatient
while waiting for God to act, but we must never give up on Him! God is worth
the wait. Change your perspective and change your life.
