We Must Find The Positives Even In All Negatives

When I listen to the birds beautiful singing it makes me think of God and how He has blessed me to wake to see another day and how I know that since He provides even for the sparrows that He will also provide for me and for you. He blessed the birds to be able to sing to bring joy and peace to others. I am excited to see what God has planned in each of our lives to spread His word and to help others. Even though each of our situations are tough right now we can rest assured that God is moving in them even when we can't see that move in the natural. When someone is  without a home it is hard at times, but it isn't the worst thing that can happen to a person, and it can even bring one closer to God in many ways and it can keep you feeling grateful for even the smallest of things in life. People say life is bad, but like I have told many it isn't life that is bad, its just some of the bumps in the road that are bad, but if we hold on we can get over those bumps and they can be as stepping stones to better places in life. I know God will provide all of my needs in His timing as long as I keep doing what I need to as well. He has not left nor forsaken you in your situation nor me in mine and He wants us to continue to trust Him above all else and all others that He will do as He says. His word and promises will not come back void. We need to keep speaking His words back to Him and we need to believe what we speak for the power of death and life are in the tongue and we will eat the fruit thereof. We must keep making positive declarations as to what God is doing and can do and will do in all of our lifes and situations. We must stand upon His word for He is our rock and our High Tower to which we can run to. He has a ministry for each of us and He will fullfil that which He has has started in each of us. We must look to the positive even in every negative situation. No matter what we go through in life it will work for out for our good as long as we keep our eyes and hearts on God. You will come out of your situation and you will be stronger in Christ for it. You will learn and you will grow and you will use it to help others to get through their own situations. All we go through in life are lessons to learn from and can be used to help ourselves and others. Sometimes we are focucing so much on the bad situations in our lives that we aren't seeing the answers God has already given us or is about to give us. I know I have been guilty of that myself at times. We get so frustrated and so loud in our own thoughts sometimes that we can't even hear God over them. He should only have to whisper to us, yet sometimes it seems we leave Him no choice but to yell to get our attention. By yelling I mean allowing situations and time to seem as if they are at a standstill when really they aren't, they are just delayed a little while. No matter what is going on in life God is still in control even when we are selves aren't. We must keep trusting God and believing that He will help us in all things.
