TOTD, August 24-26

Say, "No," to Doubt!

Since you can choose your own thoughts, when doubt comes you should learn to recognize it for what it is, say, " No thank you" --- and keep on believing!

No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God.
--- Romans 4:20


My own reflection on this Thought:
* Doubt would be there in everyday of our life. It's not an easy thing to face it, but as God's children, we ought to say NO to doubt and just keep our faith. (-fon-)


Keep a Good Attitude

Don't let the devil ruin your day by taking a hurt and allowing it to poison your attitude.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds.
--- James 1:2


My own reflection on this Thought:
* Take trials as pure joy?
The Word of God from James 1:2 sounds a little bit irrational. How come we could take problems as joy?
Following God all these time, made me realize that lots of things might be irrational. When God is at work, He even make impossible things come true.
So, with God it is possible to take trials as pure joy, because we know those trials would bring us closer to Him and make us become a better person in Him. (-fon-)


Reason to Praise

There are many things to be thankful for if we decide we are going to be a person who continually offers up thanksgiving. The flesh looks for things to complain about, but the spirit searches for reasons to give God glory.

Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].
--- 1 Thessalonians 5:18


My own reflection on this Thought:
* While so many changes happened in my life recently, I started to complain some time ago. But now, thank God, I don't do it anymore.

Complaining about everything is so easy. Because with negativity that we have, it's easy to see the loop hole in everything.
But, imagine that we're wearing faith soft lenses, we won't be complaining that much . Then we start to praise and be thankful for every little thing that God has given to us. Because we trust God, that everything happens in our life only for our own good. (-fon-)
