"Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!"
Psalm 103:1 NKJV
In some versions of the bible, you may find the term, 'Praise the LORD', which when you
think about it, is what we should be doing everyday of our lives. As we will see as we go
on through this series, we have so much to praise and bless Him for.
Things can get the better of us sometimes and we can go the alternate route and start
moaning or grumbling about things. Yes there are tedious things that we encounter each day
but just stop and think, what comes out of our mouth can have an affect on us, 'Do not let
any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for
building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who
listen.' Ephesians 4:29. Just think about this for a moment and be honest, does what you say
build people up - including yourself, or does it bring them down. We have to be careful what
we say because, if we become a grumbly person only grumbly things are going to come out
of our mouth and whoever is listening - which includes yourself, hears this negativity it can
give out depressing overtones instead of life. So, endeavour to change your way of thinking
and re-program your mouth to only speak good, solid stuff.
Look at your life and be grateful for what you have at this time. It may not be a lot but it is yours. If you're in want, ask God to help you and He will. Don't be tempted to be negative because
you are short of cash this month. Check out Matthew 6:25-34 and stand on Jesus' Words. I
tell you, in the early days of our marriage we had very little. We managed from week to week
on a very low wage and only had the basics to get by. When Jesus came into our lives, we
learnt to trust Him and literally stand on His Word for everything. Little by little, things
changed and we had better jobs which gave us more money and it became exciting
trusting Jesus and what He was going to supply today. And we made it and God blessed
us tremendously and still is doing. One thing we learned, was to tithe our money, even
though we needed the cash, by faith we gave some to whoever God showed us and the
blessing came more and more.
So today, find something to bless and praise God for. If a negative word comes into your
head, ignore it and keep in a blessed frame of mind. This is how to overcome those dark times

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
