Psalm
107:21
Oh
that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to
the children of men!
Jay
was one of the most unpopular men in the office. He never had a good word to
say to anyone. He was critical, snide, self-centered, and jealous. People
simply got tired of hearing all the negative comments coming from his mouth.
Just once they wanted to hear something good come from his lips.
Negative
people get on our nerves quickly. They get on God's nerves, too. He calls us to
praise Him and life our voices in positive ways. If only more people would
praise the Lord for His goodness, what a wonderful place our world would
become. We need to occupy our thoughts with what is good, and turn away from
what is bad. Praise God throughout the day, and see what wonderful feelings you
find along the way.
Prayer:
Erase from my vocabulary all negative words and from my mind all negative
thoughts, Lord. Create in me a fountain of positive feeling and goodwill. Share
Your grace through my witness. Amen
