Ephesians 4:23 Instead, let the spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.
24 put on your new nature, created to be like God- truly righteous and holy.
We must allow the Lord God to renew our thoughts. I remember a time I was going through something, and I was so focused on the situation. I lost track of the one who can get me out of that thing. The enemy wanted me to focus on the problem, he wanted me to get off the path that the Lord has me on, he wanted sickness, depression and anger to be my focus. When I began to think of the goodness of the Lord and praise him through that situation, that's when I began to see the Lord in the situation. We must renew our thoughts and put on our garment of righteous.

This is so very true. It is a tactic that the enemy has been using since the beginning of time.
We must learn to keep our eyes on God. Thank you for the reminder of how to stay on track and not lose focus.
Amen. Keeping a positive, optimistic outlook on things that aren't always good, helps us to see the good, the blessing and the lesson. We can even look back on those times and see our growth. Evolution is inevitable. The world around is evolving - people, places, and things. It would be a travesty to exist with no change, no growth, and no transformation.
