Make a list!

Matthew 6: 31
31 “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’”

Have you ever just stopped to consider all the ways that God provides for us?
I asked the prayer group that meets on Sunday morning at our church, to consider the overwhelming blessings of God, this past Sunday.

Almost everyone that made a list of 20 items, considered how God has provided us with a way to Heaven, (Salvation) through His Son.
It seemed to be just the thing our prayer group needed, to grasp a proper perspective for the early morning.

I think sometimes it’s easier to consider all the ways that God has blown it.
Our list of… “have nots”, is sometimes much longer than the, “haves”.

How is your level of anxiety these days?
Maybe the thing that will calm your nerves, is to consider counting your blessings and naming them one by one.

When’s the last time you made a list like that?
Honestly, in my line of work I hear way more griping, than I ever do praising.

At times, I want to scream at people who seem to be so blind at how God continuously provides.
But screaming wouldn’t be an appropriate emotion for a minister of the Gospel…or would it?

Which attitude will you chose today?

Stinking thinking…or Raising Praises?
