"The road the righteous
travel is like the sunrise, getting brighter and brighter until daylight has
come. The road of the wicked, however, is dark as night. They fall, but cannot
see what they have stumbled over.
My child, pay attention to
what I say. Listen to my words. Never
let them get away from you. Remember them and keep them in your heart. They
will give life and health to anyone who understands them. Be careful how you
think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. Never say anything that isn't
true. Have nothing to do with lies and misleading words. Look straight ahead
with honest confidence; don't hang your head in shame. Plan carefully what you
do, and whatever you do will turn out right. Avoid evil and walk straight
ahead. Don't go one step off the right way."
- Proverbs
4:18-27
I decided to start my morning differently today, which is to download Pastor Steven Furtick last Sunday sermon, “The Great Emoti Con, Moodswingers”, and listened to it on the way to work. Of course, his sermons always speak into my life and allow me to get back on my feet every time I feel like crap.
Something about me is that my thoughts are my worst enemy because 80% of my thoughts are negative (I guess it is normal for human beings to be negative). Well, I kind of proud of myself because at least I know which of my thought is negative or positive. However, I am not proud that I am allowing the negative thoughts to affect my emotions every night as the verse said, “Your life is shaped by your thoughts”.
Today, after a few weeks of emotional nights, I made a decision which is to listen to His words everyday and remember them and keep them in my heart. I will not give up and I look forward for the rest of 2015.
Decisive, Strength and Consistency
