Prov 22:11
11 He who loves purity of heart And has grace on his lips, The king will be his friend. NKJV
- Your words determine what friendships you will have.
- “He who…Will have…” Our lives are the fruit of our choices. If you don’t like what is growing change what you are planting. Look into the choices you make and plant what you want to reap.
- Your life is not a product of your circumstance but of your choices.
Phil 1:15-18
15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: 16 The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice. NKJV
- There is great power in choosing your perspective. Paul chose to rejoice when he had reason to be upset. Life is not about your circumstances, but about your choices. Acts 26:2; Are you choosing your perspective or just letting circumstances dictate your life?
Ps 100:4
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. NKJV
- Thankfulness Phil 4:6.
- Thankfulness is actually something we are commanded to do. It isn’t our circumstance or even a product of them but a choice we most make regardless of our circumstances.
- Thankfulness is a lens on the glass that we see the world through that changes what we see. It may not always change my circumstances but it will change what I see in them.
Thankfulness has seems to have more to do with perspective then it does with circumstances
