What Do You Dwell On?
April 22, 2009 by LaTara
When you are dwelling in the negative you cannot win. Nothing you do will work out right because that is the way you have trained your mind to think. Negativity clouds godly wisdom and the sound mind he has given you. Your thought process runs your life; and if you are negative then…well…let’s take it to the word. A Simple yet profound verse in Scripture states As a man thinketh in his heart so he is.
So what are you? How do you think? What dwells in your heart?
Negativity brings unnecessary DRAMA. Let me repeat that Negativity brings unnecessary DRAMA!
How much junk is going on in your life that does not need to need be there?
Now let me say that the negativity not only dwells from the inside but it can be all around you as well. Who or what in your life is a positive energy drainer? In other words who or what clouds your godly wisdom and the sound mind you were blessed with.
If you want to find out more about your authentic self, you have got change that negative mind set. Be transformed into a more viable alive abundant you by no longer conforming to the ways of this world but by Renewing your mind so that you will be able to prove and be a witness to what is good and what is acceptable and what is perfect in the will of God for your life and those whom you will serve through your calling.
Instead of dwelling on the negative, my sister whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
his word has changed my negative words
Let’s see… what do I dwell on? Well… what do you got? No, really, I consider myself to be a happy person who tries not to let her circumstances dictate her moods. I said TRY!
I don’t really dwell on any negativity which is why I thing when I do get depressed… its a doosy! Hits me worse than my worst chore which is washing clothes.
As soon as I do see myself dwelling on thoughts that are not godly or biblical, I start praising and worshipping God. At the time I don’t feel like doing it, but afterwards the Holy Spirit takes over and just moves me into a more meaningful time with the Lord.
Thanks LaTara, great post!
Now that’s a list but I think the worst thing I dwell on is how I never meassure up to my friends or family. I run around trying to get everything done for everyone else and leave my diabetes in the background trying to be what everyone wants me to be and never seeming to make the grade. I have had diabets for 33 years now and this year at the ripe age of 43 I had a heart attack. Everyone wants me to slow down or stop doing things (mainly for my church which I love) but yet they always tell me how I should be cleaning my house and taking care of my 18 year old son. I am so tired and no one understands they want to tell me its an excuse. I have loved GOD all my life and never would have made it this many years with out him but yes I do dwell on the fact that I am not good enough for everyone else and to be who I want to be, I would have to turn my back on my family and friends. At least GOD loves me and my church supports me and loves me, it’s not that the others don’t love me i guess but that I am not who they want me to be even after 43 years of trying.
As long as I have GOD though I have everything. Thanks for letting me whine a little. April
