Don't Worry, Be Happy?

Many a times, when a person is worrysome, he is seldom happy. His constant thoughts are those revolving around those challenging issues that are yet to be resolved. His whole being is sucked into a whirl pool of negativity. The person is probably thinking there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

More importantly, when a person is in a constant state of worry, his heart is probably not restful. When the heart is stressed in a negative manner and left unattended, the result is usually fatal. Even when good things are happening around the person, the person will fail to see these good things and rejoice in the fact that good things are happen.

The bible tells us that a sound heart is life to the body. A tranquil heart is life to the body. When a heart is restful, even the perfect storm will not be able to cause it to ruffle! When a person's is at rest, he will not sense heat even when heat comes. Meaning, even if bad things happen, a person whose heart is at rest will not feel the impact of those bad things.

Now, if a person doesn't worry, does that mean that person will be happy? Happiness is a choice, not a matter of circumstances. If a person choose to be happy, he will be happy even there are things that are bothersome. He can be merry and be at rest even facing the adversity head on.

Jesus had bequeathed His Shalom peace to Christians. We have the Shalom peace of God. Be conscious of this Shalom peace. Be conscious of the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross. The more we are conscious of that, the more we can rejoice being alive and be happy! Hallelujah!

Count your blessings

Was just looking out of the office window and saw a half asleep city scape. Didn't notice much of activity along the main road.

Thanked God our nation is blessed. His hand is all over this nation. Also, thanked God for a good government that we are able to go about doing our business with peace.

More importantly, thank God I am alive and living another day to praise God and to worship Him. Thank God I'm healthy and able to enjoy food. Thank God I'm able to sleep soundly at night, not having nightmare. Thank God I'm able to pass motion with ease.

Thank God I'm able to display my talents and giftings at work. Thank God for wonderful colleagues. This is the day that the Lord has made and I choose to rejoice in it.

How often do we whine about the situation and forget we already have the answer to that situation. How often do we focus on the mountainous task ahead and forget the most important Person within us who is able to strengthen us and see us through.

Let us count our blessings, regardless how small they may be.

Rejoice always

Just saw another verse with 2 words only; Rejoice always, 1 Thessalonians 5:16. Rejoice! For my joy is in the my Lord and my answer is in His word.

Rejoice!

This is the day that the Lord has made and I choose to rejoice in it. Looking forward to another brand new day that is going to be filled with His goodness and mercy. There is a few exciting things happening at the office. Can't wait to see God's mighty working power working through my associates and me to turn our dream into reality.

Rejoice

Good things happen to those who believe God is good to them. This is the day that the Lord has made and I choose to rejoice in it. I'm looking forward to a day that's fill with His love and grace. Should be getting a physical workout later in the evening.
