Power Thoughts {WEEK 3}

READ:
Read through page 24-38 of Power Thoughts by Joyce Meyer .
As you read, Highlight the passages that jump out to you, the ones that grab your attention or tug on your heart strings. What is God revealing to you through these pages? Write down your thoughts in your book or journal.

We’ve focused on the mind and attitude, but there is one word that we must keep our mind and attitude in check with:  POSITIVE  

In situations, circumstances, and people and items, we tend to find the negative or the "bad" in them first.  This week, make a choice to overlook the "bad" things and look for the positive or the "good" things first. 
DEFINE:

pos·i·tive  adjective

1. explicitly stated, stipulated, or expressed 2. admitting of no question:  

3. stated; express; emphatic 4. confident in opinion or assertion; fully assured  5. overconfident or dogmatic

EXTRA CREDIT:  
pos·i·tiv·i·ty noun

1. the state or character of being positive: a positivity that accepts the world as it is. 2. something positive.

Key Points:
Positive thinking results in positive health benefits, ( See the post here from last week about some of those benefits!), positive results and responses.  Positive thinking keeps things in perspective and helps you enjoy life. 

God's Word:
Philippians 4:8

8 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.

#2 Take notice of a situation this week that you choose the positive side of.  Maybe its a person, you choose to find something positive about.  Whatever, the case, write it down in your notebook.  Write down the positve things you chose to dwell on.  Share if you dare!

PRAY: Father God, Help me to remain positive in every area in my life.  Let me see everything through your eyes and not my own.  Convict me when my thoughts and words are contrary to yours.  In Jesus Name ,Amen.
