“Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things.” Philippians 4:8

What we think about and what we let in our lives is what we become. Sin brings troubles and thinking negative thoughts brings bad things. What we say and dwell on is so important. If you want a blessed and good life then you will listen to the creator of life. He knows his creation well. When you speak scriptures over your life it encourages and helps you remember what’s important. Thinking about how great things are in your life, even if it was just a delicious meal or a beautiful sunrise will bless your soul. Being thankful is a learned habit that takes your focus off the bad things in life and back to God who gives all good things. God makes all good things for us to enjoy and appreciate but not so we can get things to fill our homes and our lives with stuff. Then we let them bless us and not God which is no blessing at all. God doesn’t want us to not have nice things because we need them to live. But if God helps you to have a fancy car or a big house be sure to thank God for them and just remember that God gives the job that helped you buy them. Get involved with a good Bible believing church and attend regularly, in person not online. We need the fellowship of other believers to encourage us and rub off on us. The more you do things God’s way the more blessed your life will be.

“So we fix our eyes on what is not seen, but on what is unseen, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18

So much in this life cannot be seen with our eyes. It takes eyes of faith from our hearts. There are so many things going on behind the scenes that most people just haven’t experienced because they get focused on what’s going on right in front of them. The sad thing is they are usually focused on the negative things happening and they miss the good things. God is always working in our lives and unless you expect to see miracles all around you then you don’t. There are miracles in God’s creation that people just don’t think about. Just the human body is so intricate but amazingly resilient and can adapt to the challenges they face such as handicaps. Even outer space and all the stars and planets but God knows them all by name even though man can’t even number them all. Physical miracles happen every day all over the world and when you pray bold prayers you get to see so many. Things that just don’t make sense are happening everywhere because God isn’t limited by the laws of nature because he has complete control over all nature. When you start focusing on the good things and begin thanking God for all the wonderful things he does for us the more good things you see. Think of all the wisdom God has given us to do so many great things. Things like heart transplants and microcomputers. Going to the moon or building skyscrapers. So unless you take your eyes off of what’s all around us you will miss what’s really important.

Note from Annette

After several years of study in the Lord and His ways I have learned so much. I have read the Bible, books on different books of the Bible, devotional’s, every Christian book I can get my hands on, and going to church. I have so much good stuff I to share. I have written a book (sort of a diary) about my stroke and everything that happened to me. It was very well received in my care home because it gave a look into stroke victims. What they have gone through from their perspective, the problems they faced, and things that could make their care better. It also got into the hands of stroke patients and gave them hope, they weren’t alone. Now I continue to share and encourage here at Then She Spoke.
