Be Optimistic My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever. PSALM 23:5-6 NKJV
Are you an optimistic, hopeful, enthusiastic Christian? You should be. After all, as a believer, you have every reason to be optimistic about life here on earth and life eternal. As C. H. Spurgeon observed, "Our hope in Christ for the future is the mainstream of our joy." But sometimes, you may find yourself pulled down by the inevitable demands and worries of life here on earth. If you find yourself discouraged, stressed, or both, then it's time to take your concerns to God. When you do, He will lift your spirits and renew your strength. Today, make this promise to yourself and keep it: vow to be a hope-filled Christian. Think optimistically about your life, your profession, your family, and your future. Trust your hopes, not your fears. Take time to celebrate God's glorious creation. And then, when you've filled your heart with hope and gladness, share your optimism with others. They'll be better for it, and so will you. Go forward confidently, energetically attacking problems, expecting favorable outcomes. ~Norman Vincent Peale The people whom I have seen succeed best in life have always been cheerful and hopeful people who went about their business with a smile on their faces. ~Charles Kingsley No Christian can be a pessimist, for Christianity is a system of radical optimism. ~William Ralph Inge TODAY'S PRAYER Dear Lord, I will look for the best in other people, I will expect the best from You, and I will try my best to do my best-today and every day.
